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 1.2 kg hammer slams down on a nail at 5.0 m/s and bounces off at 1.0 m/s. If the impact lasts 1.0 ms, what average force is ex
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔV

F = mΔV/Δt

The impulse acting on the hammer will equal the impulse acting on the nail

If we assume upward is the positive direction

F = m(vf - vi)/t

F = 1.2(1.0 - (-1.5)) / 0.001

F = 3000 N

Check the dimensional consistencies of s =vot+1/2at2​
Leni [432]

Answer:

s is distance so it's dimensions become L.

Nd other side we have ut+1\2at^2.

as 1\2 is a constant it will have dimensions and apply the dimensions to other quantities.

on solving u will get L there also i,e ur LHS = RHS.

thus the equation is dimensionally consistent.

What is acceleration measured in?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of units, dividing meters per second [m/s] by second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared.





This I what it showed when I looked it up so if your writing this down try and put some in your own words
