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.

Answer:

The current through the wire is equal to 0.8 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a copper wire = 2 m

Potential difference = 24 mV

The current through the wire is 0.40 A.

The new potential difference is 48 mV.

We need to find the current through the wire.

As the potential difference is doubled for second wire. So the new current will be :

I' = 2I

= 2 × 0.4

= 0.80 A

So, the current through the wire is equal to 0.8 A.

An electron in an atom's orbital shell, labeled X in the model below, released enough energy to move to a different orbital shel
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Lower energy shell which will be nearer to the nucleus.

Explanation:

When electron move from one energy level to another, an electron must gain or lose just the right amount of energy.

When atoms releases energy, electrons move into lower energy levels.  The electrons in the shells aways from the nucleus have more energy as compared to the electrons in the nearer shells.

Electrons with the lowest energy are found closest to the nucleus, where the attractive force of the positively charged nucleus is the greatest. Electrons that have higher energy are found further away

A 4400 W motor is used to do work. If the motor is used for 200 s, how much work could it do? (Power: P = W/t)
guajiro [1.7K]
So if p=w/t
then 4400=(w)(200)
so you would multiply 4440•200 and get 880,000
