Answer:

A. Atoms fuse in the sun, but break up in nuclear power plants.

Explanation:

In the Sun occurs a phenomenon called Nuclear Fusion, there a massive fusion reaction is constantly occurring with the presence of hydrogen and helium.

On the other hand, nuclear power plants collide neutrons against uranium atoms to split them. So, this split provide neutrons from uranium, which collide with other atoms causing a chain reaction, releasing high power energy.

If wheel turning at a constant rate completes 100 revolutions in 10 s its angular speed is:
GenaCL600 [577]
The frequency of the wheel is given by:
f= \frac{N}{t}
where N is the number of revolutions and t is the time taken. By using N=100 and t=10 s, we find the frequency of the wheel:
f= \frac{100}{10 s}=10 s^{-1}

And now we can find the angular speed of the wheel, which is related to the frequency by:
\omega=2 \pi f=2 \pi (10 s^{-1})=62.8 s^{-1}

All matter is made up of subatomic particles that contain atoms.TrueFalse
antiseptic1488 [7]

All matter is made up of subatomic particles that contain atoms. This is false statement.

Everything in the universe  is made of matter, and so, everything in the universe is made of atoms. An atom itself is made up of three tiny kinds of particles called subatomic particles: <u>protons, neutrons, and electrons</u>.

All matter is made up of substances called elements, which have specific chemical and physical properties and cannot be broken down into other substances through ordinary chemical reactions.

Matter is anything which have mass and occupy some volume.

On earth, solid, liquid, and gas are the most common states of matter. Not only is water the most common substance on earth, but it is also the only substance that commonly appears as a solid, a liquid, and a gas within the normal range of earth's temperatures.
