8) the energy released by fusion is generally 3 to 4 times larger than with fission. Fission has very few by-products but fusion releases large amounts of radioactive particles because it starts with large nuclei.
9) Alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons all put together. It's really the nucleus of a helium atom. It is most dangerous if you ingest it but it can be stopped with a sheet of paper so outside the body it's not as dangerous as others and due to its size it can't get very far in the air before hitting air molecules
beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons. They travel further due to their small size but can be stopped by a thin barrier of plastic or wood.
Gamma rays are high frequency photons (light) They are stopped by metal plates and go through human tissue. They are quite dangerous.
10) The mass that is lost in chemical reactions is very small. Solve E=mc² for mass and you get m=E/c². This says the mass you lose is equal to the energy you gained divided by the speed of light squared. c² is a VERY big number so you need a lot of energy produced to notice it. Chemical reactions are simply too inefficient to get that much energy out.
11)You need high temperatures for fusion because you're trying to push two atoms together (to "fuse" them as the name suggests) The electrons in one atom repel the other electrons in the other atoms. When stripped down to only protons, you still have to overcome this repulsion (Coulomb repulsion). High temperatures means high velocity of the particles in the plasma. This gives them enough "oomph" to get close enough to fuse. Once close enough to each other, the nuclear force takes over and overwhelms the Coulomb repulsion and the nuclei fuse and release energy in doing so.
Answer:
Explanation:
Reaction force of inclined surface
R = mgcos30
=60 x 9.8 x .866
= 509 N
Force of kinetic friction
= .12 x 509
= 61.08 N
b )
net force downwards = mgsinθ - μmgcosθ
acceleration = g sinθ - μgcosθ
9.8 sin30 - .12 x 9.8 x cos30
= 4.9 - 1.018
a= 3.88 m /s²
c )
v² = 2as
= 2 x 3.88 x 20
v = 12.46 m /s
Total internal refraction occurs when a ray of light meets the following conditions.
1. light falls from an optically dense material to a less dense material.
2. The angle of incident in the denser media must be greater than the critical angle.
In the case above the fiber-optic is optically denser than water. Since the light is incident to fiber-optic-water interface, then one condition is fulfilled.
Checking the other condition we carry out the calculation below;
n1sinФ1=n2sinФ2
where c ⇒critical angle
1.53 sinc = 1.33 sin 90
sinc =0.86928
c = 60.37°
The angle of incident is (65°-70°) is greater than critical angle.
With certainty, there would be no refraction. Total internal reflection would occur.
Answer:
The body systems that work together to maintain the energy Sierra needs are;
The digestive system, the respiratory system, and the circulatory system
Explanation:
Cellular respiration in the body cells require oxygen to produce energy which are used by the muscles and other body cells. Carbon dioxide is also produced and is the build up of carbon dioxide has to be removed from the body as the by product of cellular respiration which is toxic at the cell level
Therefore, the body systems that work together to maintain the energy Sierra needs are;
The digestive system; Takes in the energy containing food and brakes them into chemicals that are transported to the cells for cellular respiration
The respiratory system; Takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from the blood from and to the atmosphere
The circulatory system; Supplies food and oxygen from the digestive and respiratory system to the cells and transports produced carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs from where it is passed out of the body by th respiratory system.
That is a paradox b/c stationary means not moving
