Answer:

Explanation:

Nuclear Fission -

The process of the splitting of atom , by radioactive decay process or by any collisional impact .

Sun contains many radioactive isotopes like , thorium , uranium , etc .

The nuclear fission process is an intrinsic property of the radioactive nuclides.

Nuclear Fusion -

The process , where two or more than two atomic nuclei combines to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles .

The energy released in both the process is almost same ,

But on the surface of Sun , hydrogen is abundantly present , hence , hydrogen fusion is possible , so the dominant source of energy on the sun is Fusion .

Which main characteristics describe weather

makkiz [27]

Out of the four options presented in this problem, the most probable answer would be A. humidity.

Weather has many characteristics which includes, but are not limited, to air temperature, wind speed, the directions of the wind, cloud cover, the type of clouds present, amount of precipitation, the type of precipitation, and of course humidity. Although B. winds is an option, it isn't ultimately a main characteristic since some weathers doesn't involve winds too much. The humidity, however, is present in all kinds of weather. The other characteristics help in differentiating which weather to which weather.

A speed boat travels from the dock to the first buoy a distance of 20 meters in 18 seconds it began the trip at a speed of 0 m/s

Lunna [17]

Answer:

1.11 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the boat is an example of accelerated motion, since the velocity is not constant. However, we don't need to find the acceleration, because we are only interested in the average velocity of the boat, which is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where d is the total distance covered and t the time taken. In this problem, the boat covered a distance of d = 20 m and it takes t = 18 s, therefore the average velocity is

$v=\frac{20 m}{18 s}=1.11 m/s$

Explain why a roller coaster’s second hill cannot be taller than the first hill.

max2010maxim [7]

There will not be enough momentum from the first hill to cross another hill if he same or larger size because of the way potential energy and kinetic energy works it will not be able go as high as it could go on he fist hill.
