Energy is released during the fission of pu-239 atoms as a result of the

<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>

A ball is traveling 24° above the horizontal at a speed of 12 m/s. What is the vertical component of its speed?

victus00 [196]

Answer:

4.88 m/s

Explanation:

Vertical component would be 12 * sin 24 = 4.88 m/s

Horizontal is 12 * cos 24

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you. How much time does it take the light to travel that distance?

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

$t=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.

We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,

speed = distance/time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1609}{3\cdot10^{8}}\\\\=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

So, the required time is $5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$
