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.

Joan wants to test if salt lowers the temperature at which water boils.
ohaa [14]
In order to build a hypothesis, Joan should take an educated guess at what the effect of adding salt to the water will be on the water's boiling point. For example, the hypothesis may be,"The boiling point will increase". This hypothesis is one that can be verified or rejected via experimentation. The next step for Joan would be to set up an experiment to test this hypothesis.

A proposed space station includes living quarters in a circular ring 50.0 m in diameter. At what angular speed should the ring r
mel-nik [20]
Given that the space station is free of gravitational force, it is required that it spins an certain speed to acquire centripetal acceleration.

In this case, you want that the centripetal acceleration, Ac, equals g (gravitational acceleration on the earth), becasue this will cause a centripetal force equal to the weight on earth.

The formula for centripetal acceleration is Ac = [angular velocity]^2*R

where R = [1/2]50.0m = 25.0 m

Ac = 9.81 m/s^2

=> [angular velocity]^2 = Ac/R = 9.81m/s^2v/ 25.0m = 0.3924 (rad/s)^2

[angular velocity] = √(0.3924) rad/s = 0.63 rad/s

Answer: 0.63 rad/s

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 4.00 cm. The electric field strength between the two plates is 5.70×10⁴ V/m.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2280 V

Explanation:

distance between the plates, d = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Electric field strength, E = 5.7 x 10^4 V/m

The formula for potential difference is given by

V = E x d

V = 5.7 x 10^4 x 0.04

V = 2280 V

thus, the potential difference between the plates is 2280 V.

If the maximum energy given to an electron during compton scattering is 30 kev, what is the wavelength of the incident photon?
hammer [34]

The wavelength of the incident photon is 1.19x10^{-2} nm.

What is wavelength?

The wavelength, or the distance over which the shape of a periodic wave repeats, is the spatial period in physics. It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves, as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two neighboring crests, troughs, or zero crossings. The Greek letter lambda is frequently used to denote wavelength. The term wavelength is also sometimes used to describe modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency is inverse, assuming a sinusoidal wave flowing at a constant speed.

Calculations:

The energy loss Δλ=h/m_{e} c(1-cos∅)

Conservation of momentum gives,

h_{f} =P_{e} c-hf'\\hf+hf'=P_{e} c\\hf+hf'=\sqrt{(m_{e} c^{2} } +k^{2} )-me^{2} c^{4} \\\\=\sqrt {(511+30)^{2} -(511)^{2} } \\=178keV

hf=hf'+k=hf-hf'=30keV\\

2hf=178+30\\2hf=208\\hf=104keV\\

Wavelength(λ)=\frac{hc}{104keV}=\frac{1.24keV.nm}{104keV}

Wavelength(λ)=1.19x10^{-2} nm
