Answer: Fusion

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}+_2^4\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_0^\textrm{n}

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{36}^{91}\textrm{Kr}+_{56}^{142}\textrm{Ba}+_{0}^{1}\textrm{n}

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

\displaystyle w=3.478\ rad/sec

M=0.0182\ J

v=0.398\ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Simple Pendulum</u>

It's a simple device constructed with a mass (bob) tied to the end of an inextensible rope of length L and let swing back and forth at small angles. The movement is referred to as Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).

(a) The angular frequency of the motion is computed as

\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}

We have the length of the pendulum is L=0.81 meters, then we have

\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.81}}

\displaystyle w=3.478\ rad/sec

(b) The total mechanical energy is computed as the sum of the kinetic energy K and the potential energy U. At its highest point, the kinetic energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is pure potential energy, which is computed as

U=mgh

where h is measured to the reference level (the lowest point). Please check the figure below, to see the desired height is denoted as Y. We know that

H+Y=L

And

H=L\ cos\alpha

Solving for Y

Y=L(1-cos\alpha )

Since\ \alpha=8.1^o, L=0.81\ m

Y=0.0081\ m

The potential energy is

U=mgh=0.23\ kg(9.8\ m/s^2)(0.0081\ m)

U=0.0182\ J

The mechanical energy is, then

M=K+U=0+U=U

M=0.0182\ J

(c) The maximum speed is achieved when it passes through the lowest point (the reference for h=0), so the mechanical energy becomes all kinetic energy (K). We know

\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

Equating to the mechanical energy of the system (M)

\displaystyle \frac{mv^2}{2}=0.0182

Solving for v

\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{(2)(0.0182)}{0.23}}

v=0.398\ m/s

Describe the octet rule in terms of noble-gas configurations and potential energy
Wittaler [7]
Elements will gain or lose electrons to form a noble gas configuration. Atoms that meet the octet rule are stable because their valence electrons have a relatively low potential energy. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Three resistors connected in series have potential differences across them labeled /\V1 , /\V2 , and /\V3. What expresses the po
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3

Explanation:

We are given that three resistors R1, R2 and R3 are connected in series.

Let

Potential difference across R_1=\Delta V_1

Potential difference across R_2=\Delta V_2

Potential difference across R_3=\Delta V_3

We know that in series  combination

Potential difference ,V=V_1+V_2+V_3

Using the formula

\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3

Hence, this is required expression for potential difference.
