A neutron and a large nucleus.

In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235. 
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.

If the sound comes from the right side, the waves reach the right ear before the left ear. if the sound comes from the left side, the waves reach the left ear before the right ear. The difference between the phases of waves reaching both ears is detected by the ears and then interpreted by the brain

An initially electrically neutral conducting sphere is placed on an insulating stand. A negatively-charged glass rod is brought
balu736 [363]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer

Explanation:

It is known that when a neutral object comes in contact with a charged object then an opposite charge develops on the neutral object. But this development of charge occurs only when both the objects come in contact and if they are not in contact with each other then there occurs no charge on the neutral object.

As in the given situation, negatively-charged glass rod is brought near, but does not touch the sphere. So, there will occur no charge on the sphere.

Thus, we can conclude that final charge on the sphere is neutral.

A car starting from rest moves with a constant acceleration of 10 mi/hr2 for 1 hour, then decelerates at a constant 5 mi/hr2 unt
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The total distance traveled by the car (S) = 15 mi

Explanation:

Total acceleration (a_{1}) = 10 mi / h^{2}

Time (t) = 1 hour

Deceleration (a_{2}) = - 5 mi / h^{2}

From law of speed we know that  V = u + a_{1} t -----------(1)

Where V = Final speed

           u = initial speed and t = time period

Car starts from rest so initial speed is zero so u = 0

Then equation 1 becomes V = a_{1} t = 10 × 1 = 10 mi / h ---------(2)

The distance traveled by the car S_{1} = u t + \frac{1}{2} × a_{1} × t^{2} -------------(3)

Put all the values in equation we get S_{1} = 0 + \frac{1}{2} × 10 × 1^{2}

                                                             S_{1} = 5 mi ---------------(4)

This is the distance traveled by the car in 1 hour.

In second case when car starts decelerates the equation of motion becomes

⇒ V = u - a t -----------(5)

final speed in this case = 0 and initial speed (u) = 10 mi / h

⇒ 0 = 10 - 5 t

⇒ 5 t = 10

⇒ t = 2 hours

Distance traveled by the car in to hours  S_{2} = u t + \frac{1}{2} × a_{2} × t^{2}

⇒ S_{2} = 10 × 2 - \frac{1}{2} × 5 × 2^{2}

⇒ S_{2} = 20 - 10

⇒ S_{2} = 10 mi

This is the distance traveled by the car in the next two hours.

Thus the total distance traveled by the car = S_{1} + S_{2}

⇒ S = 5 + 10 = 15 mi
