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)).

A grating has 470 lines/mm. how many orders of the visible wavelength 538 nm can it produce in addition to the m = 0 order?

Natali [406]

Three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order can be produced in addition to the m=0 order.

The ruling separation is d=1/(470mm-1)

$= 2.1 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}mm$

Diffraction lines occurs at an angle θ such that dsin=mλ,when λ is the wavelength and m is an integer.

Notice that for a given order,the line associated with a long wavelength is produced at a greater angle than the line associated with shorter wavelength.

we take λ to be the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum (538nm) and find the greatest integer value of m such that θ is less than 90°.

That is,find the greater integer value of m for which mλ<d.

since,d/λ

$= 538 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m/2.1 \times 10 {}^{ - 6}$

There are three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order.

The second and third orders overlap.

A bowling ball has a mass of 5 kg. A student rolls the bowling ball one time at 1 m/s and a second time and 2 m/s. Compare the m

sasho [114]

The answer is 5kg m/s with the second momentum being 10 kg m/s. i took the test and it was right. hope this helps yalls

1 point<br> You throw a ball up in the air with a velocity of 30 m/s. How high does it<br> go?

choli [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

2as=vf^2-Vi^2

vf=30 m/s

vi= 0 m/s

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

s=vf^2-Vi^2/2a

s=(30)²-(0)²/2*9.8

s=900-0/19.6

s=45.9=46 m

What alleles are always both expressed

lawyer [7]

An organism which has two different alleles of the gene is called heterozygous. Phenotypes (the expressed characteristics) associated with a certain allele can sometimes be dominant or recessive, but often they are neither.
