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>

<h2>a) Displacement of penny = 1300 i + 2400 j - 640 k</h2><h2>b) Magnitude of his displacement = 2729.47 m</h2>

Explanation:

a) He walks 1300 m east, 2400 m north, and then drops the penny from a cliff 640 m high.

1300 m east = 1300 i

2400 m north = 2400 j

Drops the penny from a cliff 640 m high = -640 k

Displacement of penny = 1300 i + 2400 j - 640 k

b) Displacement of man for return trip = -1300 i - 2400 j

    \texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{(-1300)^2+(-2400)^2}=2729.47m

    Magnitude of his displacement = 2729.47 m

An applied force of 50 N is used to accelerate an object, that weighs 73 N, to the right across a frictional surface. The object
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

5.38 m/s^2

Explanation:

NET force causing the object to accelerate  =  50 -10 = 40 N

Mass of the object =  73 N / 9.81 m/s^2 = 7.44 kg

F = ma

40 = 7.44 * a         a = 5.38 m/s^2
