KengaRu [80]3 years ago
7 0

ANSWER:

Potential energy due to the position of an object above Earth's surface is called gravitational  potential energy.

EXPLANATION:

Gravitational energy is the potential energy compared with gravitational force, as work is  needed to further things against Earth’s gravity. The potential energy due to high positions is  called gravitational potential energy, and is evidenced by water in an elevated storage or kept  behind a dam. If an article falls from one point to different point inside a gravitational field, the  force of gravitation will do actual work on the object, and the gravitational potential energy will  decrease by the same amount.

1. Define fission and fusion. Give an example of fission and fusion reflecting in real life application.
Alja [10]

Answer :

  • Nuclear fission : In nuclear reaction, the nucleus of a larger atom breaks into two or more smaller nuclei. In fission process, protons and neutrons are produced and larger amount of energy is released.

Example : In nuclear power plant, the energy released from the process of nuclear fission which is converted into electrical energy that is used in our homes and factories.

  • Nuclear fusion : In nuclear reaction, the nuclei of two or more smaller atoms combine together to form single larger molecule. In fusion process, the mass of the resulting nuclei is more as compared to the starting nuclei and large amount of energy is also released.

Example : This process occurs in the sun and stars. In this, the isotopes of Hydrogen, Tritium and Deuterium combine together to form a neutron and a helium atom under high pressure and temperature.
