Answer:

Chain reaction is possible by neutron

Explanation:

Nuclear reaction is mainly two types,

⇒ Nuclear Fission : heavy atom split into two light atom.

Ex. Uranium, thorium

⇒ Nuclear fusion : lighter atom combine together

Ex. Hydrogen to helium

In fusion reaction the large amount of energy is produced as compare to fission reaction.

Sun gets brighter by fusion reaction.

In case of uranium fission reaction is possible by colliding neutron.

Ali mixes 20g of Sodium Chloride in 100g of water at 15 Degree °C. Calculate the mass of the solution

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The mass of the solution is 120 g.

Explanation:

The mass of the solution is given by:

$m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2}$

Where:

$m_{sol}$ : is the mass of the solution

$m_{1}$ : is the mass of the solvent

$m_{2}$ : is the mass of the solute

In the solution, the solvent is the majority compound (in mass) and the solute is the minority (in mass), so the solvent is the water and the solute is sodium chloride.

Hence, the mass of the solution is:

$m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2} = 100 g + 20 g = 120 g$

I hope it helps you!

Two horizontal forces,225N and 165N,are exerted on s canoe in the same direction. Find the net horizontal foce

Readme [11.4K]

Since they are in the same direction, you would add them together. Let’s also assume said direction is positive. 225 N + 165 N = 390 N

An object has an average acceleration of +6.18 m/s2 for 0.266 s . At the end of this time the object's velocity is +9.90 m/s .

Archy [21]

At the start of the 0.266 s, the object's speed was 8.26 m/s.

The question can only be talking about speed, not velocity.

If the radius of the sun is 7.001×105 km, what is the average density of the sun in units of grams per cubic centimeter? The vol

xenn [34]

Answer:

Average density of Sun is 1.3927 $\frac{g}{cm}$ .

Given:

Radius of Sun = 7.001 × $10^{5}$ km = 7.001 × $10^{10}$ cm

Mass of Sun = 2 × $10^{30}$ kg = 2 × $10^{33}$ g

To find:

Average density of Sun = ?

Formula used:

Density of Sun = $\frac{Mass of Sun}{Volume of Sun}$

Solution:

Density of Sun is given by,

Density of Sun = $\frac{Mass of Sun}{Volume of Sun}$

Volume of Sun = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Volume of Sun = $\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times [7.001 \times 10^{10}]^{3}$

Volume of Sun = 1.436 × $10^{33}$ $cm^{3}$

Density of Sun = $\frac{ 2\times 10^{33} }{1.436 \times 10^{33} }$

Density of Sun = 1.3927 $\frac{g}{cm}$

Thus, Average density of Sun is 1.3927 $\frac{g}{cm}$ .

Structures on a bird feather act like a diffraction grating having 8000 8000 lines per centimeter. What is the angle of the firs

sammy [17]

Answer:

Angle of first order maximum, $\theta=21.19^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=452\ nm=452\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Number of lines, N = 8000 per cm

The relation between the number of lines and the slit width is given by :

$d=\dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{8000/cm}$

$d=0.000125\ cm=1.25\times 10^{-6}\ m$

The equation of grating is given by :

$d\ sin\theta=n\lambda$

n = 1

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{d}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{452\times 10^{-9}}{1.25\times 10^{-6}}$

$\theta=21.19^{\circ}$

So, the angle of the first-order maximum is 21.19 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.
