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>

Merton’s strain theory would have the most trouble explaining which crime?
Ronch [10]
Strain theory would least apply to assault. Strain theory represents the result of society pressuring individuals to conform or to achieve accepted goals. When these goals, such as not making enough money or not being well known, fraud, robbery, and burglaries will take place to counteract it. Assault, on the other hand, is used as a bridge into crimes such as fraud, robbery, or burglary.

What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 25 grams of copper to cause a 15ºC change? The specific heat of copp
Lina20 [59]

The amount of heat required is B) 150 J

Explanation:

The amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of a substance is given by the equation:

Q=mC\Delta T

where:

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity of the substance

\Delta T is the change in temperature of the substance

For the sample of copper in this problem, we have:

m = 25 g (mass)

C = 0.39 J/gºC (specific heat capacity of copper)

\Delta T = 15^{\circ}C (change in temperature)

Substituting, we find:

Q=(25)(0.39)(15)=146 J

So, the closest answer is B) 150 J.

The average Intensity of the electromagnetic field due to sunlight at the surface of the earth is 1400 W/m^2. Calculate the maxi
Ann [662]

Answer:

1027 N/C

3.42 x 10⁻⁶ T

Explanation:

I = Intensity of electromagnetic field = 1400 W/m²

E₀ = Maximum value of electric field

Intensity of electromagnetic field is given as

I = (0.5) ε₀ E₀² c

1400 =  (0.5) (8.85 x 10⁻¹²) (3 x 10⁸) E₀²

E₀ = 1027 N/C

B₀ = maximum value of magnetic field

using the equation

E₀ = B₀ c

1027 = B₀ (3 x 10⁸)

B₀ = 3.42 x 10⁻⁶ T

A negative charge -Q is placed inside the cavity of a hollow metal solid. The outside of the solid is grounded by connecting a c
tester [92]

Answer:

a)  + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge

b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0

c) E=0

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation when a negative charge is placed inside the cavity, it repels the other negative charges, leaving the necessary positive charges to compensate for the -Q charge. The electrons that migrated to the outer part of the sphere, as it is connected to the ground, can pass to the earth and remain on the planet; therefore on the outside of the sphere the net charge remains zero.

With this analysis we can answer the specific questions

a)  + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge

b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0

c) If we create a Gaussian surface on the outside of the sphere the net charge on the inside of this sphere is zero, therefore there is no electric field, on the outside

d) If it is very reasonable and this system configuration is called a Faraday Cage

e) We cannot apply this principle to gravity since there are no particles that repel, in all cases the attractive forces.
