Answer:

Fission and Fusion

Explanation:

There are two basic processes: fission and fusion. In both processes, mass is converted to energy according to the famous equation, e=mc2

In fission, heavy fuel (isotopes of uranium, plutonium, thorium, etc.) atoms split, releasing kinetic energy daughter particles and as radiation. In a reactor plant kinetic energy of the daughter particles is converted to thermal energy as the particles are slowed by the fuel matrix or primary coolant. Radiation is absorbed by various components of the reactor and converted to thermal energy. Thermal energy from both sources is then carried out of the reactor core by primary coolant to a turbine where it is converted to electrical energy which is then transmitted to the power grid.

In fusion, light atoms of hydrogen combine to form helium. Energy released from this reaction will be captured and used to generate electricity as well, once we have constructed a fusion reactor large enough to be self-sustaining (i.e. produce as much or more energy from fusion than needed to start the reaction going).

In the case of nuclear weapons, the tremendous energy from the nearly simultaneous fission/fusion reactions is used to create a fireball, intense radiation, and a large shock wave.

How much power does it take to lift 30.0 N 10.0 m high in 5.00 s?
Rudik [331]

Power = work/time = (Force times distance)/time

= (30N *10.0m)/5.00s = 300/5 = 60 Watts

What is the Difference between accuracy and precision ?<br>​
Pie

Answer:

Accuracy measures how close results are to the true or known value. Precision, on the other hand, measures how close results are to one another.

Special relativity can be used to study an object in which frame of reference?
Tresset [83]
Special relativity led the path for general relativity; special relativity is in a sense a special application of the rules of general relativity. While general relativity is in position to tackle all of these problems, special relativity can tackle only problems in inertial frames. Inertial frame means that the frame of reference is inot accelerating. So, we disqualify answers A and D. However, remember that moving in a circle means that there is an acceleration, the centrifugal one, even if the speed does not change. Hence C is also incorrect.
The correct answer is B, since if there is no change in velocity, the frame does not accelerate and it is inertial.
