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 91.0-kg hockey player is skating on ice at 5.50 m/s. another hockey player of equal mass, moving at 8.1 m/s in the
never [62]

The momentum before the collision velocity after the collision will be 1237.6 kg m/s² and 6.8 m/sec.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

(m₁) is the mass of hockey player 1= 91.0-kg

(m₂) is the mass of hockey player 2=  91.0-kg

(u₁) is the velocity before collision of hockey player 1 = 5.50 m/s.

(u₂) is the velocity before the collision of hockey player 2=?

a)

Momentum before the collision;

\rm  m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 \\\\ 91.0 \times 5.50 + 91.0 \times 8.1 \\\\ 1237.6 kg m/s^2

Momentum before the collision = 1237.6 kg m/s².

b)

The velocity of the two hockey players after the collision from the law of conservation of the momentum as:

Momentum before collision = Momentum after the collision

1237.6 kg m/s² = (m₁+m₂)V

1237.6 kg m/s² =(2 ×91.0-kg )V

V=6.8 m/sec.

Hence, momentum before the collision velocity after the collision will be 1237.6 kg m/s² and 6.8 m/sec.

A cup of coffee is sitting on a table in a train that is moving with a constant velocity. The coefficient of static friction bet
Vikki [24]

Answer:

a = 2.94 m/s²

Explanation:

In order for the cup not to slip, the unbalanced force on cup must be equal to the frictional force:

Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force

ma = μR = μW

ma = μmg

a = μg

where,

a = maximum acceleration for the cup not to slip = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.3

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

a = (0.3)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>a = 2.94 m/s²</u>
