False because nuclear fission is used on uranium in nuclear power station and this reaction is continuous since a neutron hits a uranium atom and splits it. Then 2-3 neutrons are released which continues the cycle or hitting other uranium atoms. If this reaction isn't contained, it could get out of control and become a nuclear bomb. So it can't be burned like wood nor coal.
Hope this is helpful. <span />

AysviL [449]

Answer:

<em>The K.E from A to B won't increase...</em>

Explanation:

That's because the P.E from A to B is increasing. The K.E will increase if charge moves from a higher potential to a lower potential i.e., from B to A.

That is the reason there is no effect on net K.E when moving from a potential to same potential over and over (A to C).

: 1 khối khi lý tưởng nhận được nhiệt lượng 200J, khi đó khí nở ra đẩy pittong bằng 1 công 80J.
Ratling [72]

Answer:

DU = 120 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of energy = 200 J

Work = 80 J

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

DU is the change in internal energy.

Q is the quantity of energy.

W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 200 - 80

DU = 120 Joules
