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.

Maru [420]

Answer:

A charge of -5.02 nC is uniformly distributed on a thin square sheet of nonconducting material of edge length 21.8 cm. "What is the surface charge density of the sheet"?

Explanation:

Surface charge density is a measure of how much electric charge is accumulated over a surface. It can be calculated as the charge per unit area.

We will convert all parameters in SI units.

Charge = Q = -5.02nC

Q = -5.02× $10^{-9}$ C

As it is clear from question that Sheet is a square (All sides will be of equal length)

Area = A = (21.8× $10^{-2}$ m) (21.8× $10^{-2}$ m) = 4.75× $10^{-4}$ m²

A = 4.75× $10^{-4}$ m²

Surface charge density = Q/A

Surface charge density = (-5.02× $10^{-9}$ C)/(4.75× $10^{-4}$ m²)

Surface charge density = -1.057× $10^{-5}$ C $m^{-2}$

AlekseyPX

Answer:

(A) 2.4 N-m

(B) $0.035kgm^2$

(D) 1741.13 J

(E) 725.481 rad

Explanation:

We have given mass of the disk m = 4.9 kg

Radius r = 0.12 m, that is distance = 0.12 m

Force F = 20 N

(a) Torque is equal to product of force and distance

So torque $\tau =Fr$ , here F is force and r is distance

So $\tau =20\times 0.12=2.4Nm$

(B) Moment of inertia is equal to $I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2$

So $I=\frac{1}{2}\times 4.9\times 0.12^2=0.035kgm^2$

Torque is equal to $\tau =I\alpha$

So angular acceleration $\alpha =\frac{\tau }{I}=\frac{2.4}{0.035}=68.571rad/sec^2$

So initial angular speed $\omega _{0}=0rad/sec$

Time t = 4.6 sec

From first equation of motion we know that $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

So $\omega =0+68.571\times 4.6=315.426rad/sec$

(D) Kinetic energy is equal to $KE=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.035\times 315.426^2=1741.13J$

(E) From second equation of motion

$\Theta =\omega _0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2=0\times 4.6+\frac{1}{2}\times 68.571\times 4.6^2=725.481rad$

Orion is visible on winter evenings in the northern hemisphere but not summer evenings because of_______________.

Bess [88]

Answer:

c. the location of Earth in its orbit.

Explanation:

It is known that the earth orbits the sun once every 365 days, during this time the<u> constellations that are visible in the sky are changing</u>.

This is due to the fact that depending on the position, we have access to different parts of the celestial tomb, that is, the stars and constellations visible from earth.

This is why Orion is visible in winter but not in summer, since in summer it is in a <u>different part of the orbit</u> and with visibility towards different constellations.

the answer is c. the location of Earth in its orbit.
