Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:
1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.
2. Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.
3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will be radioactive particles produced.
Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.
Given :
The distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5.
To Find :
By what factor does the force on the neutral atom by the point charge change.
Solution :
We know, electrostatic force between two object is directly proportional to product of charge and inversely proportional to distance between them.
Now, charge in neutral atom is 0 C.
So, the electrostatic force between two of them is also 0 N.
Therefore, by changing distance between the charge the forces did no change ( it remains zero).

Answer:
When the drill hits oil, some of the oil rises from the ground high into the air. This immediate release of oil is known as a "gusher." Once a reservoir has been located, pumps are used to extract the oil.
