What do nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?

adoni [48]

Answer:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy

At the same temperature, two wires made of pure copper have different resistances. The same voltage is applied at the ends of ea

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that the resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the length of wire and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the wire.

As the material is copper for both the wires so the resistivity is same and the voltage is also same. As their resistance is different it means either length is different or the area of crossection is different.

A small 18 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 1 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

In-s [12.5K]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).

A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.

A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

They're both correct.

4. A family leaves from New York City and is flying to Los Angles which is 2800mi away. It takes

Blizzard [7]

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}$

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}$

$AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph$

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!
