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.

Which material is a conductor​
9966 [12]

Answer:

Conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons. Insulators oppose electrical current and make poor conductors. Some common conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, and silver. Some common insulators are glass, air, plastic, rubber, and wood.

In this lab you will use a cart and track to explore various aspects of motion. You will measure and record the time it takes th
Keith_Richards [23]

It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.  

Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.

The movement of a magnetic pole away from the actual pole
Lunna [17]

The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate about a horizontal axis, it will point straight down). There is only one location where this occurs, near (but distinct from) the Geographic North Pole and the Geomagnetic North Pole.

A ball is droped from a height of 16m how much time will pass before the ball hits the ground​
sergey [27]

Answer:

The time is 1.8s

Explanation:

The ball droped, will freely fall under gravity.

Hence we use free fall formula to calculate the time by the ball to hit the ground

h= \frac{1}{2}g{t}^{2}

Where h is the height from which the ball is droped, g is the acceleration due to gravity that acted on the ball, and t is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.

From the question,

h=16m

Also, let take

g = 9.8m{s}^{-2}

By substitution we obtain,

16= \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8{t}^{2}

\implies32=9.8{t}^{2}

Diving through by 9.8

\frac{32}{9.8}= \frac{ 9.8{t}^{2} }{9.8}

\implies{t}^{2} =3.265

square root both sides, we obtain

\implies t= \sqrt{3.265}

t=1.8s
