Answer:

Fusion requires very high pressure and temperature, as the other person said

Explanation:

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 motorcycle is speeding along at a velocity of120kph.Then, it changes to a velocity of 150 kph for 2 minutes.What is the motorc
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a=v-u/t

a=acceleration

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

t=tme taken

we need to convert from kph to ms⁻¹

v= 150*1000/60*60= 41.67ms⁻¹

u= 120*1000/60*60= 33.33ms⁻¹

t= 2*60= 120s

a=41.67-33.33/120

a=8.34/120

a=0.0694ms⁻²

Why does a balloon filled with the air from your lungs sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats ?
hoa [83]

Helium is lighter than air from the lungs.

Explanation:

A balloon filled with the air from lungs will sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats because helium is lighter than air.

Air is a mixture of many gases.

The air from the lungs is predominantly made up of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

  • Gram per mole of carbon dioxide is 44. Water vapor is 18.
  • Compared to helium which is 4, we see that the gas is lighter.
  • Since the gas is lighter, it will float in air.
  • The main component of air around us is nitrogen gas with a gram per mole of 28.
  • A balloon filled with more of air from the lungs weigh more than that will filled air around and even far more than helium gas.
  • This will cause a helium filled balloon to float.

A system consists of three particles with these masses and velocities: mass 3.00 kg, moving north at 3.00 m/s; mass 4.00 kg, mov
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

Explanation:

given,

mass(m₁) 3.00 kg, moving north at v₁ = 3.00 m/s

mass(m₂) 4.00 kg, moving south at v₂ =  3.70 m/s

mass(m₃) 7.00 kg, moving north at v₃ = 2.00 m/s

north as the positive axis

south as the negative axis

now

total momentum = m₁v₁ + m₂ v₂ + m₃ v₃

total momentum = 3 x 3 - 4 x 3.7 + 7 x 2

                           = 9 - 14.8 + 14

                           = 8 .2 kg m/s

hence, the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.
