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.

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 50.9 c
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Flow rate 2.34 m3/s

Diameter 0.754 m

Explanation:

Assuming steady flow, the volume flow rate along the pipe will always be constant, and equals to the product of flow speed and cross-section area.

The area at the well head is

A = \pi r_w^2 = \pi (0.509/2)^2 = 0.203 m^2

So the volume flow rate along the pipe is

\dot{V} = Av = 0.203 * 11.5 = 2.34 m^3/s

We can use the similar logic to find the cross-section area at the refinery

A_r = \dot{V}/v_r = 2.34 / 5.25 = 0.446 m^2

The radius of the pipe at the refinery is:

A_r = \pi r^2

r^2 =A_r/\pi = 0.446/\pi = 0.141

r = \sqrt{0.141} = 0.377m

So the diameter is twice the radius = 0.38*2 = 0.754m

S Five particles with equal negative charges -q are placed symmetrically around a circle of radius R. Calculate the electric pot
Scrat [10]

The four distinct charges' combined potentials make up the potential in the square's center. The amount of the charge and the distance from the charge both affect the potential caused by a point charge.

Therefore, the center's total potential is V=4V1=ks4 q.

<h3>What is a charge?</h3>

Due to the physical characteristic of electric charge, charged material experiences a force when it is exposed to an electromagnetic field. An object that has no net charge is said to be neutral. Classical electrodynamics is the name given to an earlier theory of the interactions of charged particles.

You can have positive or negative electric charges (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). opposing charges attract one another whereas similar charges repel one another.
