NUCLEAR ENERGY
Every second of every day our Sun converts about 4.2 million metric tons (4,200,000,000 kilograms) of hydrogen into helium using a nuclear <span>fusion </span>process. During this nuclear reaction, a small portion of matter is converted to an enormous amount of energy. It is this output that provides the energy for photosynthesis and for heating our atmosphere and oceans.
In this lesson, you will learn the details of the nuclear fusion process. You will also learn about another important nuclear reaction called fission and some useful applications of it.

Answer:
The myofibrils are the contractile organelles in the muscle fibers.
Answer: The second image best represents the relationship of the concentration of hydrogen ions between water, vinegar and ammonia.
Explanation: pH is the measure of alkalinity and acidity of a substance in a logarithmic scale.
Mathematically,
![pH=-\log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
The solutions which lie in the pH range of 0 - 6.9 are considered as acidic solutions and they have more hydrogen ion concentration.
The solution which has a pH value of 7 is considered as a neutral solution and this solution has same hydrogen and hydroxide ion concentration.
The solutions which lie in the pH range of 7.1 - 14 are considered as basic solutions and they have less hydrogen ion concentration.
- For vinegar, the hydrogen ion concentration is very high.
- For water, the hydrogen ion concentration will be equal to the hydroxide ion concentration.
- For ammonia, the hydrogen ion concentration is very less.
Answer:
Its an easy experiment demonstrating the Earth's rotation. ... At the north or south pole, the pendulum is moving in a fixed so the plane of the pendulum seems to rotate through 360° as the Earth makes one full rotation.
Explanation:
