C: the mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy was lost to friction.

Answer: The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

According to the law conservation of the mechanical energy, the total mechanical energy in a closed system remains constant in the absence of friction.

In the given problem, a child is sliding down a slide at the playground.

When a child is on the top of the slide then the he has more potential energy. When he starts slides down the slide then the kinetic energy starts increasing.

At the bottom of the slide, he has more kinetic energy.

But some energy is lost here due to friction. Hence, the mechanical energy is not conserved.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Which atomic number is the threshold value below which fusion may occur?
Luda [366]

Answer:

The atomic number 26(iron) is the threshold value below which the fusion might occur.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.

Energy released in a fusion reaction is because of a key feature of nuclear matter called the binding energy which is a measure of the efficiency with which its constituent nucleons are bound together.

As we go up in atomic number, the energy released per nuclei goes down until it hits a minimum which is for atomic number 26 (iron) and fusion is not possible.
