B. Fusion requires very high pressure and temperature.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of atomic nuclei into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

Nuclear fission is the decay process in which a heavy nuclide is bombarded with with neutrons.

Both processes release a huge amount of energy.
But fusion produces far more energy.
The reason why nuclear fusion is not in use is because of the high pressure and temperature needed start it.
The activation energy is high and the energy barrier is very great.
Only the core of the sun naturally favors fusion

A turtle crawls at 4.32 m/s to cover the short 3.84 m distance to his food bowl. How long does it take?

Lyrx [107]

Speed=Distance/Time. so you need to do distance/speed to get time. 3.84/4.32= .88888888889 seconds to get to his food bowl

What are the spiral arms of the milky way made of?

valentinak56 [21]

In short, those arms are made of "stars, dust and gas". They are visible as spiral arms because they have a higher density of those objects than the space between them.

The arms are an area where the density of stars (and planets and other objects) is unusually high and where the start are young - recently formed- and this also gives those starts their visibility as young starts are also very bright.

Foraging bees often move in straight lines away from and toward their hives. Suppose a bee starts at its hive and flies 500 m du

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The distance of the bee from the hive is 740 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Bee starts fly 500 m due east, 430 m west and 670 m east.

The direction of the bee

500 m in positive direction

430 m in negative direction

670 m in positive direction

We need to calculate the net distance

Using formula of distance

$D=500-430+670$

$D=740\ m$

Hence, The distance of the bee from the hive is 740 m.
