Answer:

A very large amount of energy is produced from a very small mass

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is produced either by fusion or fission. The former is the fusion of lighter atoms into heavier elements while the latter is the splitting of a heavier atom into lighter atoms. Both produce tremendous amounts of energy. Fusion, causes compaction of mass while fission reduces it. Fusion does not produce radioactive particles while fission does (alpha and beta particles and neutrons).

What happened to a balloon when it is put in freezer

e-lub [12.9K]

The frozen balloon shrank because the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules in a balloon decreases when the temperature decreases. This makes the molecules move more slowly and have less frequent and weaker collisions with the inside wall of the balloon, which causes the balloon to shrink a little.
