Why are chemical processes unable to produce the same amount of energy flowing out of the sun as nuclear fusion?

Physics

julsineya [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the major differences between nuclear reactions and chemical reactions is that nuclear reactions involve larger amount of energy than chemical energy. <u>This is because the force between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is much higher than the force of attraction between electrons and the positively charged nucleus, hence nuclear reactions involves/requires a larger amount of energy (because it's reactions involve the nucleus) than chemical reactions (because it's reactions involve the electrons)</u>.

Thus, during nuclear fusion, two light nuclei are bombarded against one another to produce a larger/heavier nuclei with the release of large amount of energy (because the forces between the protons and neutrons are much higher) unlike when two atoms/molecules are chemically combined together to form a new molecule with the rearrangement of electrons in the valence shells of the participating molecules.

explain why conductors and insulators are both required to construct the electrical wiring in your home
olchik [2.2K]
Conductors (something that allows electricity to flow easily) allow for electricity to flow easily. This would be the wires. If you don't have conductors, then you cannot have electricity flow.

Insulators (something that doesn't allow electricity to flow through it) is important because it allows us to be able to touch the cables or place them next to one another and not shock ourselves

Hope this helps

Three 20.0 ohm resistors are
V125BC [204]

Answer:

6.67 ohm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Resistor 1 (R₁) =20 ohm

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 20 ohm

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 20 ohm

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are arranged in parallel connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃

1/R = 1/20 + 1/20 + 1/20

1/R = (1 + 1 + 1) / 20

1/R = 3/20

Invert

R = 20/3

R = 6.67 ohm

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is 6.67 ohm.
