Compare and contrast fission and fusion

Physics

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

Both require heat energy, while fission tears molecules apart, fusion "fuses" them together. Fission releases heat energy by splitting atoms. Fusion is actually what occurs on the sun.

The formula v = √2.5r models the maximum safe speed, v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radiu
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The maximum safe speed of the car is 30.82 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The formula that models the maximum safe speed, v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radius of curvature r r, is in feet is given by :

v=\sqrt{2.5\ r}.........(1)

A highway crew measures the radius of curvature at an exit ramp on a highway as 380 feet, r = 380 feet

Put the value of r in equation (1) as :

v=\sqrt{2.5\ \times 380}

v = 30.82 m/s

So, the maximum safe speed of the car is 30.82 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 5.0-kg mass is placed at (3.0, 4.0) m, and a 6.0-kg mass is placed at (3.0, -4.0) m. What is the moment of inertia of this sys
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

the moment of inertia of this system of masses about the y-axis is 99 kgm²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass m₁ = 5.0 kg at point ( 3.0, 4.0 )

mass m₂ = 6.0 kg at point ( 3.0, -4.0 )

Now, Moment of inertia I of this system of masses about the y-axis will be;

Moment of inertia Iₓ = mixi²

Moment of inertia I = m₁x₁² + m₂x₂²

we substitute

Moment of inertia I = [ 5.0 × ( 3 )² ]  + [ 6.0 × ( 3 )² ]

Moment of inertia I = [ 5.0 × 9 ]  + [ 6.0 × 9 ]

Moment of inertia I = 45 + 54

Moment of inertia I = 99 kgm²

Therefore, the moment of inertia of this system of masses about the y-axis is 99 kgm²
