2 answers:

6 0

The correct answer to the question is Fusion i.e the process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called fusion.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fission is the thermo nuclear process in which a heavy unstable nucleus will split into two light stable nuclei with the release of energy.

For instance, the splitting of Uranium-235 to Krypton-92 and Barium-141.

Nuclear fusion is just the opposite process of nuclear fission. It is the thermo nuclear process in which two light unstable nuclei will combine with each other at a high temperature equal to the temperature of sun to form a large stable nuclei with the release of energy.

For instance, we may take hydrogen bomb i.e the energy formation in stars. Here, four hydrogen nuclei will combine with each other form a helium nuclei with the release of huge amount of energy.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is nuclear fusion.

What is the definition of gravity in simple terms?

Tema [17]

Answer:

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects

1 : A force of attraction that tends to draw particles or bodies together.

2 : The attraction of bodies by the force of gravity toward the center of the earth.

3 : Great seriousness.

Calculat the acceleration of a person at latitude<br> 40degreesowing to the rotation of the earth.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

Explanation:

given data

latitude = 40 degree

to find out

Calculate the acceleration of a person

solution

we know that here 40 degree = 0.698 rad

acceleration of person = g - ω²R ...............1

and 1 rotation complete in 24 hours = 360 degree

here g is 9.81

so we know Earth angular speed ω = 7.27 × $10^{-5}$ rad/s and R is earth radius that is 6.37 × $10^{6}$ m

put here value in equation 1 we get

acceleration of person = g - ω²R

acceleration of person = 9.81 - (7.27 × $10^{-5}$ )² × 6.37 × $10^{6}$

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

In the great shopping cart race, two students push on shopping carts. A having twice the mass of B, with the same force applied

fiasKO [112]

B. cart B

Explanation:

The acceleration of each cart is given by Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

where F is the force applied, a is the acceleration and m is the cart's mass.

The force F applied is the same for the two carts, however the mass of cart A (mA) is twice than the mass of cart B (mB), so we can rewrite the two accelerations:

$a_A = \frac{F}{m_A}=\frac{F}{2 m_B}$

$a_B = \frac{F}{m_B}$

we see that the acceleration of cart B is twice the acceleration of cart A, therefore cart B will move faster and will win the race.
