<h2>Answer: process of converting matter into energy</h2><h2></h2>

Nuclear fission consists of dividing a heavy nucleus into two or more lighter or smaller nuclei, by means of the bombardment with neutrons to make it unstable. In this process that takes place in the atomic nucleus, neutrons, gamma rays and <u>large amounts of energy are emitted.  </u>

Then, with this division a great release of energy occurs and the emission of two or three neutrons, other particles and gamma rays.  

This means fission is a process in which energy is released by  the separation of the components of the nucleous of the atom.

In other words:

<h2>Matter is converted to energy .</h2>

Determine the slit width that produces a diffraction pattern with the 2nd dark fringe at 6.2mm from the central fringe. The scre
Elanso [62]

Answer:

d= 0.242 mm

Explanation:

Slit width (d ) = ?

Screen distance ( D ) = 1.25 m

Wave length of light λ = 600 nm

Distance of n the dark fringe from centre

= n λ D / d

Here n = 2

so

6.2\times10^{-3}=\frac{2\times600\times10^{-9}}{d}

d=\frac{1500\times10^{-6}}{6.2}

d= 0.242 mm

Rays of light coming from the sun (a very distant object) are near and parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror. After
Setler [38]

A concave mirror is an example of curved mirrors. So that the appropriate answer to the given question is option D. The rays will cross at the focal point.

A concave mirror is a type of mirror in which its inner part is the reflecting surface, while its outer part is the back of the mirror.  This mirror reflects all parallel rays close to the principal axis to a point of convergence. It can also be referred to as the converging mirror.

In this type of mirror, all rays of light parallel to the principal axis of the mirror after reflection will cross at the focal point.

Therefore, the required answer to the given question is option D. i.e The rays will cross at the focal point.

Rebecca heated 50mL of water from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. How much energy did she use to heat the water? Rememb
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Q = 12540  J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of water, m = 50 mL = 50 g

It is heated from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.

We need to find the energy required to heat the water. The formula use to find it as follows :

Q=mc\Delta T

Where c is the specific heat of water, c = 4.18 J/g°C

Put all the values,

Q=50\times 4.18\times (60-0)\\Q=12540\ J

So, 12540 J of energy is used to heat the water.
