8) the energy released by fusion is generally 3 to 4 times larger than with fission. Fission has very few by-products but fusion releases large amounts of radioactive particles because it starts with large nuclei.
9) Alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons all put together. It's really the nucleus of a helium atom. It is most dangerous if you ingest it but it can be stopped with a sheet of paper so outside the body it's not as dangerous as others and due to its size it can't get very far in the air before hitting air molecules
beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons. They travel further due to their small size but can be stopped by a thin barrier of plastic or wood.
Gamma rays are high frequency photons (light) They are stopped by metal plates and go through human tissue. They are quite dangerous.
10) The mass that is lost in chemical reactions is very small. Solve E=mc² for mass and you get m=E/c². This says the mass you lose is equal to the energy you gained divided by the speed of light squared. c² is a VERY big number so you need a lot of energy produced to notice it. Chemical reactions are simply too inefficient to get that much energy out.
11)You need high temperatures for fusion because you're trying to push two atoms together (to "fuse" them as the name suggests) The electrons in one atom repel the other electrons in the other atoms. When stripped down to only protons, you still have to overcome this repulsion (Coulomb repulsion). High temperatures means high velocity of the particles in the plasma. This gives them enough "oomph" to get close enough to fuse. Once close enough to each other, the nuclear force takes over and overwhelms the Coulomb repulsion and the nuclei fuse and release energy in doing so.
Answer:
Orbital speed=8102.39m/s
Time period=2935.98seconds
Explanation:
For the satellite to be in a stable orbit at a height, h, its centripetal acceleration V2R+h must equal the acceleration due to gravity at that distance from the center of the earth g(R2(R+h)2)
V2R+h=g(R2(R+h)2)
V=√g(R2R+h)
V= sqrt(9.8 × (6371000)^2/(6371000+360000)
V= sqrt(9.8× (4.059×10^13/6731000)
V=sqrt(65648789.18)
V= 8102.39m/s
Time period ,T= sqrt(4× pi×R^3)/(G× Mcentral)
T= sqrt(4×3.142×(6.47×10^6)^3/(6.673×10^-11)×(5.98×10^24)
T=sqrt(3.40×10^21)/ (3.99×10^14)
T= sqrt(0.862×10^7)
T= 2935.98seconds
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
If lamp A burnt out there would still be a wire above it that connects lamp B and C to the power source
Answer:
Check the attached image
Explanation:
To solve the problem for time you will have to use the formula for time, t = d/s which means time equals distance divided by speed.
Kindly check the attached image below for the step by step explanation to the question.
