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.

A scalloped hammerhead shark swims at a steady speed of 1.5 m/s with its 88 cm -cm-wide head perpendicular to the earth's 56 μT
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

7.4 x 10⁻⁵ T.

Explanation:

Emf induced = BLv

Where B is magnetic field , L is length of rod or any other object moving in magnetic field and v is velocity of moving rod.

Here B = 56 x 10⁻⁶ T

L = 88 X 10⁻² m

v = 1.5 m/s

emf induced = 56 x 10⁻⁶ x 88 x 10⁻² x 1.5

= 7.4 x 10⁻⁵ T.

A train leaves the station heading south on the tracks. It takes 5 seconds to reach 50 miles per hour. It completes the entire 1
Musya8 [376]
Well, in order to figure out the answer is to divide until you figure out how many miles they went per second. If it takes 5 seconds to reach 50 miles per hour it took 10 seconds per every 10 miles meaning each mile took 1 second. (Not actually possible but the answer) So, If it finished a 100 mile trip in 2 hours it took an hour for 50 miles. If it took 1 hour for 50 miles divide 60/50 which gets you 1.2 so it took 1.2 miles per minute meaning the car went 120 miles per hour I believe. I hope this helps :)

Why pressure above the surface is greater than in the air​
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels. ... Since most of the atmosphere's molecules are held close to the earth's surface by the force of gravity, air pressure decreases rapidly at first, then more slowly at higher levels.
