Which statements describe nuclear reactions? Check all that apply.

Explanation:
Nuclear reactions are the reactions in which nucleus of an atom changes either by splitting or joining with the nucleus of another atom.
There are two types of nuclear reactions.
- Nuclear fission - In this process, large atomic nuclei splits into smaller nuclei.
- Nuclear fusion - In this process, two small nuclei combine together to form a large nuclei.
Both nuclear fission and fusion processes involve nuclei of atoms.
For example,
Thus, we can conclude that statements which are true are as follows.
- Nuclear reactions involve the nuclei of atoms.
- The products of nuclear reactions are lighter than the reactants.

Answer:
Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds
Explanation:
The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).
To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:
The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):
