Fusion is the act of putting together ( fusing ) two items so that they become one. Fission is the act of dividing or splitting an item.

Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are similar in that they both involve changes in the nucleus of the atom. Another similarity is that relatively high energies (for the size of the matter involved) are associated with those nuclear changes.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}$

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

Energy lost by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr

$0.5kd^{2}=0.5mv^{2}+mgLsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta x$

$x(mgsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)=0.5kd^{2}$

$x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}$

The required distance from A to B is $x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}$

An archer puts a 0.30-kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m. Assuming th

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

41.74 m/s

Explanation:

The energy used to draw the bowstring = the kinetic energy of the arrow.

Fd = 1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where F = force, d = distance move string, m = mass of the arrow, v = speed of the arrow.

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2Fd/m)...................... Equation 2

Given: F = 201 N, m = 0.3 kg, d = 1.3 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = √(2×201×1.3/0.3)

v = √(1742)

v = 41.74 m/s.

Hence the arrow leave the bow with a speed of 41.74 m/s

Elenna [48]

Thank you for posting your Physics question here. I hope the answer helps. Upon calculating the ramp with the horizontal the answer is 20.49 Deg. Below is the solution:

Y = 7 m.
r = 20 m. 

sinA = Y/r = 7/20 = 0.35. 
A = 20.49 Deg.
