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)).

Salt is now added to the water in the bucket, increasing the density of the liquid. what happens to the tension in the string ?
AlexFokin [52]

The question involves a ping-pong ball that is held submerged in a bucket by a string attached to the bottom of the bucket.

The answer is the tension of the string will increase. This is because making the water salty increases its density, and consequently, increases its buoyancy. This is why sea water is more buoyant than fresh water. Therefore the ping pong is pushed more upwards by the water when salt is added than initially. This gives the string more tension.
