Answer:
Explanation:
solar cell - converts sunlight into electricity
geothermal energy - heat produced within the Earth
wave energy - turns turbines along coastlines
hydroelectricity - water falling through dams turns turbines, generates electricity
Answer:The first task of a nuclear weapon design is to rapidly assemble a supercritical mass of fissile uranium or plutonium. A supercritical mass is one in which the percentage of fission-produced neutrons captured by another fissile nucleus is large enough that each fission event, on average, causes more than one additional fission event. Once the critical mass is assembled, at maximum density, a burst of neutrons is supplied to start as many chain reactions as possible. Early weapons used a modulated neutron generator codenamed "Urchin" inside the pit containing polonium-210 and beryllium separated by a thin barrier. Implosion of the pit crushed the neutron generator, mixing the two metals, thereby allowing alpha particles from the polonium to interact with beryllium to produce free neutrons. In modern weapons, the neutron generator is a high-voltage vacuum tube containing a particle accelerator which bombards a deuterium/tritium-metal hydride target with deuterium and tritium ions. The resulting small-scale fusion produces neutrons at a protected location outside the physics package, from which they penetrate the pit. This method allows better control of the timing of chain reaction initiation.
Explanation:
When you transferred the hot metal from the boiling water and into the calorimeter, The effect will be
- Change in temp is positive
- Temp of metal V, dT=-ve
- No change occurs in the specific heat of metal
This is further explained below.
<h3>What is the Specific heat of the metal?</h3>
a )Since the metal of the cup is hot and the water inside is cold, the water's temperature will rise as heat is transferred from the metal to the liquid.
Change in temp is positive
b)
Due to (a), heat is lost from the food to the water in the cup, lowering the metal's temperature.
Temp of metal V, dT=-ve
c)
No change occurs in the specific heat of metal because of its constant property.
