"Nuclear fission is the splitting of electrons in the outer shell of an atom." True or False?

Physics
1 answer:
sweet-ann [11.9K]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is:

False

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the splitting of nucleus of an atom which results in the emission of high amount of energy.

<u>Example:</u>

Heavy atom (i.e. uranium) when bombarded with neutrons, its nucleus split into smaller lighter weight nuclei and release a huge amount of energy. (Nuclear fission also takes place without neutrons i.e. in the form of radioactive decay (the process in which an unstable nucleus of an atom releases energy in the form of radiation)).

<h2>Answer:</h2>

In circuits, the average power is defined as the average of the instantaneous power  over one period. The instantaneous power can be found as:

p(t)=v(t)i(t)

So the average power is:

P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}p(t)dt

But:

v(t)=v_{m}cos(\omega t) \\ \\ i(t)=i_{m}cos(\omega t)

So:

P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}v_{m}cos(\omega t)i_{m}cos(\omega t)dt \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}cos^{2}(\omega t)dt \\ \\ But: cos^{2}(\omega t)=\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2}

P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}(\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2} )dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{cos(2\omega t)}{2}]dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}[\frac{1}{2}(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{4\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2T}[(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{2\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2}

In terms of RMS values:

V_{RMS}=V=\frac{v_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ I_{RMS}=I=\frac{i_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ P=VI

A wagon is pulled at a speed of 0.40metets/seconds by a horse exerting an 1,800 Newton's horizontal force. what is the power of
Tatiana [17]

Given:

speed of 0.40meters/seconds

1,800 Newton's horizontal force

Required:

Power of the horse

Solution:

P = F(D/T) where P is power in watts, F is the force, D is the distance and T is time

P = (1,800N) (0.40 meters/seconds)

P = 720 Watts

If you want to make a strong battery, should you pair two metals with high electron affinities, low electron affinities, or a mi
zalisa [80]

A mix

Explanation:

A battery is an electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery ensures that current is produced.

  • A battery is made up of two electrodes which are the cathode and anode.
  • The cathode is the positive electrode and the anode is the negative one.
  • These electrodes are made up of metals.
  • Electrons moves from the anode to the cathode and current flows from cathode to anode.
  • At the anode oxidation occurs because electrons are produced here.
  • It needs to have low electron affinity.
  • At the cathode where reduction occurs, the electron affinity must be high.
  • This is the driving force for the production of electricity in electrochemical cells.
