Compare the practical uses and limitations of nuclear fission and fusion. Include in your answer a detailed description of the t

wo processes, comparing and contrasting them in terms of the types of atoms involved, the conditions needed to get the reaction started, and the types of products produced.

In fission, an atom is split into two or more smaller, lighter atoms. Fusion, in contrast, occurs when two or more smaller atoms fuse together, creating a larger, heavier atom. For the former, the energy released by fission is a million times greater than that released in chemical reactions, but lower than the energy released by nuclear fusion. On the other hand, fusion process<span> is three to four times greater than the energy released by fission. Hope this would help. Have a nice day.</span>

Answer:

e) 120m/s

Explanation:

When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning

v_0-gt = 0.

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

Solving for t we get

t = \dfrac{v_0}{g}

which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.

Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time t_0 since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity v_f it has gained is

v_f = gt_0,

and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity v_0; therefore,

v_f = 2v_0  = gt_0

which gives

t_0 = \dfrac{2v_0}{g}.

Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity 2v_0 is

t_{tot} = t+t_0 = \dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{2v_0}{g}

t_{tot} = \dfrac{3v_0}{g}.

This t_{tot}, we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,

36= \dfrac{3v_0}{g},

and solving for v_0 we get:

v_0 = \dfrac{36g}{3}

v_0 = \dfrac{36s(10m/s^2)}{3}

\boxed{v_0 = 120m/s}

which from the options given is choice e.

If you place a paper clip very close to a magnet, the paper clip
Alik [6]
The answer is “D. all of the above”!

Metal from the paper clip is attracted to the magnet, so it will naturally move toward and stick to the magnet. This will cause the paper clip to temporarily become a magnet for other metals. I hope this helped!

A 1500 kg car traveling east at 40 km/hr turns a corner and speeds up to a velocity of 50 km/hr due north. What is the change in
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

96046  Ns.

Explanation:

We shall represent velocity in vector form considering east direction as + ve x axis and north as + y direction.

40 km/h in the east

V₁ = 40 i

V₂ = 50j

momentum p₁ = mV₁

= 1500 X 40 i

= 60000 i

Momentum p₂ = mV₂

= 1500 X 50j

= 75000 j

Change in momentum

p₂ - p₁

75000j - 60000i

Magnitude of change

= \sqrt{(750000)^2 +(60000)^2

= 96046  Ns.

The electric-power industry is interested in finding a way to store electric energy during times of low demand for use during pe
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: True

Explanation: Inductors are similar to resistors, due to the fact that they offer resistance to current flow, but Inductors are different from resistors in that, while resistors loss electric energy in a circuit in the form of heat, an inductor stores that energy in the form of a magnetic field.

As current passes through an inductor overtime it tends to store current in the form of magnetic field. Therefore the electric-power industry can store energy in large Inductors.
