Which nuclear reaction is used to generate electric energy in power plants?

Physics

Answer: C. Nuclear fission

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the reaction in which the nucleus of a heavy atom, when bombarded with neutrons (or when capturing an incident neutron), becomes unstable and divides into two or more nuclei of lighter atoms, giving rise to a situation of greater stability. In this process that takes place in the atomic nucleus, neutrons, gamma rays and large amounts of energy are emitted.  

Then, with this division a great release of energy occurs and the emission of two or three neutrons, other particles and gamma rays.  

This means fission is a process in which <u>energy is released by the separation of the components of the nucleous of the atom. </u>

In other words:

Matter is converted to energy, and in the case of powew plants, in electric energy.

Blasts are used for communicating different signals when vessels move.When a boat is leaving, a long blast, at intervals of not more than two minutes, is used for alerting other vessels, when a boat is sailing. When leaving the dock, only a single prolonged blast is used for indicating others, that you are leaving.

1. A pendulum has a period of 3 seconds. What's its frequency? 2. A pendulum has a frequency of 0.25 Hz. What's its period? 3. A
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

(1) 0.333 Hz

(2) 4 sec

(3) 2 sec, 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

(1) We have given time period of pendulum is 3 sec

So T = 3 sec

Frequency will be equal to f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{3}=0.333Hz

(2) Frequency of the pendulum is given f = 0.25 Hz

Time period is equal to T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4sec

(3) It is given that a pendulum makes 10 back and forth swings in 20 seconds

So time taken to complete 1 back and forth swings = =\frac{20}{10}=2sec

So time period T = 2 sec

Frequency will be equal to f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5Hz
