Which term describes the reaction process in a fission reaction?

Physics

klasskru [66]3 years ago

The correct answer is

A. Chain reaction

This is how the chain reaction works in a process of nuclear fission:

1) Slow-moving neutrons reach heavy, unstable, radioactive nuclei (such as Uranium-235)

2) The neutrons interact with the nuclei of Uranium, which break apart producing smaller nuclei and additional neutrons

3) The neutrons produced in the reaction are slowed down by a moderator (e.g. water) and they interact with new nuclei of Uranium, causing new fission reactions)

4) The new neutrons interact with new nuclei of Uranium, and so on...

sergiy2304 [10]

Explanation:

Crossing over is the swapping of genetic material that occurs in the germ line. During the formation of egg and sperm cells, also known as meiosis, paired chromosomes from each parent align so that similar DNA sequences from the paired chromosomes cross over one another.

Please show work : A particle with mass 2.00 μg and a charge of – 200 nC has a velocity of 3000 m/s in the x-direction. There is
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

 x =4.5 10⁴ m

Explanation:

To find the distance that the particle moves we must use the equations of motion in one dimension and to find the acceleration of the particle we will use Newton's second law

     m = 2.00 mg (1 g / 1000 ug) (1 Kg / 1000g) = 2.00 10-6 Kg

     q = -200 nc (1C / 10 9 nC) = -200 10-9 C

Let's calculate the acceleration

     F = ma

     F = q E

     a = qE / m

     a = -200 10⁻⁹ 1000 / 2.00 10⁻⁶

     a = 1 10² m / s²

Let's use kinematics to find the distance traveled before stopping, where it has zero speed (Vf = 0)

     Vf² = Vo² -2 a x

     0 = Vo² - 2 a x

     x = Vo² / 2a

     x = 3000²/ 2100

     x =4.5 10⁴ m

This is the distance the particule stop, after this distance in the field accelerates in the opposite direction of the initial

Second part

In this case Newton's second law is applied on the y axis

      F -W = 0

      F = w = mg

      E q = mg

      E = mg / q

      E = 2.00 10⁻⁶ 9.8 / 200 10⁻⁹

      E = 9.8 10⁵ C

       

The direction of the field is such that the force on the particle is up, as the particle has a negative charge, the field must be directed downwards F = qE = (-q) E

What is dark energy?
expeople1 [14]
Dark energy is a theoretical repulsive energy that causes the acceleration to the expansion of the universe. Among the choices, the nearest answer would be D. Dark energy can also be defined as a new form of energy, that is a dynamic field that fills up space but has an effect opposite to that of normal energy.
