Answer: The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are defined as the reactions in which rearrangement of one or more substances gets converted to one or more different substances known as products. Energy is released in the reactions where energy of products is less than the energy of the reactants.

Nuclear reactions are the reactions in which atomic nucleus undergoes change and releases a huge amount of energy in the process. There are two types of nuclear reactions: Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Both the nuclear reactions releases a huge amount of energy.

From the given information above, we conclude that the correct option is Option D.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

C)The Same

Explanation:

Kinematics equation:

y=v_{oy}*t+1/2*g*t^2

for both cases the initial velocity in the axis Y is the same, equal a zero.

So the relation between the height ant temps is the same for both cases (the horizontal velocity does not play a role)

Two ships leave a harbor at the same time, traveling on courses that have an angle of 110∘ between them. If the first ship trave
Allushta [10]

Answer:

49.07 miles

Explanation:

Angle between two ships = 110° = θ

First ship speed = 22 mph

Second ship speed = 34 mph

Distance covered by first ship after 1.2 hours = 22×1.2 = 26.4 miles = b

Distance covered by second ship after 1.2 hours = 34×1.2 = 40.8 miles = c

Here the angle between the two sides of a triangle is 110° so from the law of cosines we get

a² = b²+c²-2bc cosθ

⇒a² = 26.4²+40.8²-2×26.4×40.8 cos110

⇒a² = 2408.4

⇒a = 49.07 miles

On a trolley ride around an amusement park, a child travelled from one signpost to a second signpost at a constant speed of 125
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed given = 125 m /min

125 /60 m /s

In 450 second it will travel

= 450 x 125 / 60

=937.5 m.  

As the distance  is covered in less than 450 seconds , The distance must be less than 937.5 m

In 400 seconds , it will travel

= 400 x 125 / 60

833.33 m

Since the distance is covered in more than 400 seconds , the distance must be more than ie 833.33 .

Hence the distance covered is more than .833 m but less than 937.5

In either case these distance are more than .8 km .
