Why isn't nuclear fusion used to generate electric energy in power plants?

Physics

D. It requires extremely high pressure.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is not used to generate electric energy in power plants because it requires extremely high pressure.

To start a nuclear fusion reaction, extreme temperature and pressure is needed to activate the process.

  • Nuclear fusion is the combination of two nuclei to form a heavier one.
  • The process occurs naturally at the core of stars where we have extremes of temperature and pressure.
  • This cannot easily be achieved profitably and sustainable by current technologies.

A 6 kg cart starting from rest rolls down a hill and at the bottom has a speed of 10 m/s. What is the height of the hill?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

h = 5.09 m

Explanation:

Applying the Law of conservation of energy to this situation, we can write:

Kinetic\ Energy\ Gained\ by\ the\ Cart = Potential\ Energy\ Lost\ by\ the\ Cart\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g}

where,

h = height of the hill = ?

v = speed of cart at the end = 10 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

h = \frac{(10\ m/s)^2}{(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)}\\\\

<u>h = 5.09 m</u>

Change the following data into scientific notation.<br><br> 5 000 000 km
RoseWind [281]
To find out scientific notation, you want to make sure that number is less than 10. So do 5.000000, you don't rally need the zeros but I just want to make my point. So use 10^x meaning ten the whatever power adds zeros like 5.000000x10^6 meaning it is increasing it by six zeros moving it out of the decimals and letting become 5,000,000.

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 33.6 cm. when one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a
masha68 [24]
Missing question: "What is the spring's constant?"

Solution:
The object of mass m=6.89 kg exerts a force on the spring equal to its weight:
F=mg=(6.89 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=67.6 N
When the object is attached to the spring, the displacement of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position is
\Delta x=43.2 cm-33.6 cm=9.6 cm=0.096 m
And by using Hook's law, we can find the constant of the spring:
k= \frac{F}{\Delta x}= \frac{67.6 N}{0.096 m}=704.2 N/m

An automobile rounds a curve of radius 50.0 m on a flat road.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

14m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius of the curve  = 50m

Centripetal acceleration  = 3.92m/s²

Unknown:

Speed needed to keep the car on the curve = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is the inwardly directly acceleration needed to keep a body along a curved path.

 It is given as;

      a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}  

a is the centripetal acceleration

v is the speed

r is the radius

  Now insert the parameters and find v;

         v²   = ar

        v² = 3.92 x 50  = 196

         v  = √196 = 14m/s
