Chain reactions

Neutrons released in a fission reaction can strike other nuclei and cause chain reactions

Explanation:

In nuclear fission reactions, the heavier atoms split into into lighter atoms, releasing neutrons at high velocity in the process. The neutrons hit other heavier atoms in the vicinity and split them too releasing more neutrons. This continuation is called chain reaction. The more the released neutrons the higher the rate of chain reactions. This causes too much energy to be produced at a go until an enormous explosion occurs (like in bombs).

In controlled nuclear fission such as in nuclear reactors, the number of neutrons is controlled so as to prevent the reactor from exploding. A wall that absorbs excess neutrons is used to control the number of chain reactions to prevent the release of too much energy at once.

The constant pressure molar heat capacity, C_{p,m}C p,m ​ , of nitrogen gas, N_2N 2 ​ , is 29.125\text{ J K}^{-1}\text{ mol}^{-1
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Constant pressure molar heat capacity Cp = 29.125 J /K.mol

If Cv be constant volume molar heat capacity

Cp - Cv = R

Cv = Cp - R

= 29.125 - 8.314 J

= 20.811 J

change in internal energy = n x Cv x Δ T

n is number of moles , Cv is molar heat capacity at constant volume ,  Δ T is change in temperature

Putting the values

= 20 x 20.811 x 15

= 6243.3 J.

The measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is called
Butoxors [25]
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. According to Newton's laws of motion, force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration, and the equation for force is F = m * a, where m = mass and a = acceleration.

What happens when the wire in an electromagnet is wrapped around a soft iron core?
Pavlova-9 [17]
The magnetic particles in a soft iron nail will line up with the magnetic field when the current is switched on. ... When you switch on the current, the coil becomes an electromagnet. But also, the soft iron core becomes a magnet. It will add to the strength of the electromagnet.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

both technician A and Technician B are correct

Explanation:

Technician A says balance shafts are used to counteract vibration created in the engine. Technician B says proper balancing of the engine is important for smooth operation. Which technician is correct

In piston engine engineering, a balance shaft is an eccentric weighted shaft that  counteracts vibrations in engine designs that are not inherently balanced. They were first invented and patented by British engineer Frederick W. Lanchester in 1904. ... .The balance shafts have eccentric weights and rotate in opposite direction to each other, which generates a net vertical force. Unavailability of the balance shaft can cause excessive vibration to the engine thereby damaging the oil pump and resulting to engine failure.
