<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>
<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the amount of heat absorbed at normal boiling point, we use the equation:
where,
q = amount of heat absorbed = ?
m = mass of water = 10 grams
= latent heat of vaporization = 539 Cal/g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories
Answer:
since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
