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 sphere is charged with electrons to -6 x 10^-6C. How many electrons make up this charge? The elemental charge is 1.6 x 10^-19

just olya [345]

Answer:

$3.75*10^{-13}$ electrons

Explanation:

The total charge Q is the sum of the charge of the N electrons contained in the sphere:

$Q=N*q_{e}$

$q_{e}=-1.6*10^{-19}C$ charge of a electron

We solve to find N:

$N=\frac{Q}{q_{e}}=\frac{-6 x 10^{-6}}{-1.6 x 10^{-19}}=3.75*10^{-13}$

How is the percent efficiency of a machine determined?

NemiM [27]

Since work is the change in kinetic energy, the efficiency of a machine can be stated as the percentage of the output work divided by the input work minus the work lost from to friction and heat. Multiply Eff by 100% to get the efficiency percentage.
