Nuclear fusion is more reliable and sustainable source of energy than nuclear fission chain reaction justify this statement with

plausible arguments
Physics
1 answer:
nata0808 [166]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. Nuclear fusion does not generate radioactive nuclear wastes as nuclear fission does.

2. Nuclear fusion cannot lead to disastrous powerplant explosions as nuclear fission does.

3. More energy is generated during nuclear fusion than in nuclear fission.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion involves the combination of lighter atoms such as hydrogen to form a heavier nucleus, in the process producing a tremendous amount of energy.

Nuclear fission on the other hand involves splitting a heavy nucleus into two lighter nuclei, releasing energy in the process.

  • Nuclear fusion can be more reliable than nuclear fission in energy generation due to the following reasons:
  • There are no radioactive waste products obtained as a result of nuclear fusion, unlike nuclear fission. This is because the elements involved in Nuclear fusion are relatively radioactively stable elements.
  • The risk of nuclear powerplant explosion due to out of control chain reactions is reduced in nuclear fusion because the reaction can only occur in perfect conditions under high pressure and temperatures <em>(e.g the sun)</em>. When any of these conditions is removed due to a fault, the reaction automatically stops.
  • More energy is generated during nuclear fusion than in nuclear fission.

Two cello strings, with the same tension and length, are played simultaneously. Their fundamental frequencies produce audible be
qwelly [4]

Explanation:

Let f₁ is the fundamental frequency, f_1=8\ Hz

Lower pitch frequency, f_2=220\ Hz

Fundamental frequency is, f_1=\dfrac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_1}}.....(1)

Lower frequency is, f_2=\dfrac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_2}}..............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2) as :

\dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}}

\dfrac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}=(\dfrac{f_1}{f_2})^2

\dfrac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}=(\dfrac{8}{220})^2

\dfrac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}=0.00132

So, the ratio of  linear mass density μ of the string with the higher pitch to that of the string with the lower pitch is 0.00132. Hence, this is the required solution.

A mother and daughter are on a seesaw in the park. How far from the center must the 160.9lb mother sit in order to balance the 6
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The mother has to sit 2.17 ft from the center on the other side of the seesaw.

Explanation:

We are trying to find the sum of torques given by the weights of mother and daughter to be zero.

If the torque of the daughter on one side of the pivoting point is given by:

5.5 ft x 63.5 lb x g = 349.25 g ft lb

we need that the absolute value of the torque exerted by the mom (160.9 lb) to be the same in magnitude (and of course opposite direction). So we assume that "d" is the distance at which the mother locates to make this torque equal in magnitude to her daughter's torque:

d x 160.9 lb x g = 349.25 g ft lb

d = 2.17 ft

What scientific device fascinated Newton as a Boy?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

As a boy, Sir Isaac Newton was fascinated by a Windmill.

A drawing of a Windmill, which many believe to have been sketched by the young Newton over three an half centuries ago was discovered in his childhood home on a wall.
