"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
3 0

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)).

Calculate the energy of the green light emitted, per photon, by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 5.49 × 1014 hz.
Tcecarenko [31]
The energy of a photon is given by
E=hf
where
h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the photon

In our problem, the frequency of the light is 
f=5.49 \cdot 10^{14}Hz
therefore we can use the previous equation to calculate the energy of each photon of the green light emitted by the lamp:
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.49 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.62 \cdot 10^{-19} J

Which row shows what happens to the temperature of a solid as it melts and what happens to the temperature when
frez [133]

When ice melts, its temperature doesn't change ... ice at 32 degrees becomes water at 32 degrees.

When water boils, its temperature doesn't change ... water at 212 degrees becomes steam at 212 degrees.

The row that says both of these is row-D .

Part complete during a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s
Inga [223]

The average force applied to the ball= 106.7 N

Explanation:

Force is given by

f= ΔP/t

ΔP= change in momentum= m Vf- m Vi

m= mass =0.2 kg

Vf= final velocity= 12 m/s

Vi=initial velocity= -20 m/s ( negative because it is going towards the wall which is treated as negative axis)

t= time= 60 ms= 0.06 s

now ΔP= 0.2 [ 12-(-20)]

ΔP=0.2 (32)=6.4 kg m/s

now force F= ΔP/t

F= 6.4/0.06

F=106.7 N
