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 />

The magnitude of the momentum of an object is the product of its mass m and speed v. If m = 3 kg and v = 1.5 m/s, what is the ma
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Momentum, p = 5 kg-m/s

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of an object is the product of its mass m and speed v i.e.

p = m v

Mass, m = 3 kg

Velocity, v = 1.5 m/s

So, momentum of this object is given by :

p=3\ kg\times 1.5\ m/s

p = 4.5 kg-m/s

or

p = 5 kg-m/s

So, the magnitude of momentum is 5 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

If the average speed of a person was 1.2 meters/second, does this mean that their speed was exactly 1.2 meters/second the whole
alexandr1967 [171]

Average speed is defined by the following formula

v = \frac{D}{t}

here

D = total distance that an object move from its initial position to final position

t = total time of the motion

so here we will say that there is no such relation between initial or final speed or we can say maximum or minimum speed of object with average speed of object.

We only need to find the total distance and total time of motion in order to find the average speed

here we can see many examples like let say an object moves with speed v1 for time t1 and then with speed v2 for time t2 then here average speed is given as

d = v_1 t_1 + v_2t_2

since we know that distance covered is product of speed and time

that's why we used above equation for finding total distance

now the average speed will be

v_{avg} = \frac{v_1t_1 + v_2 t_2}{t_1 + t_2}

so this is how we can find the average speed for above motion

so average speed is always between maximum and minimum speed any value in-between.

It is neither the maximum value nor it is minimum value

Waves that hit a fixed boundary return to the starting point on the____
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A: Opposite

Explanation:

From Newton's third law of motion, to every action there is an equal an opposite reaction. Thus, when the wave hits a fixed boundary, it is returned as a reflected wave to the starting point albeit on the other side.

Neon signs use electricity to ____ electrons
Romashka [77]
Neon light recharge them self with more light and electricity, they rapidly give out the energy they absorbed to get themselves back to normal again. They do this by giving out tiny packets of light energy called photons. I;m not sure if this helps but you gave no info really on what you were asking like if there were choices that would have been helpful to see :p
