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.

ben walks 2 m from his desk to the teachers desk. From the teachers desk he then walks 3 m in the same direction to the classroo
vaieri [72.5K]
Distance is the total length covered = 2m + 3m = 5m

Displacement is his distance from original position.

Displacement =  2m + (-3)m.               Representing the 3m walked back as -3.

Displacement = 2m - 3m = -1m.

So his displacement  is 1m behind his original starting point.

A butcher grinds 5 and 3/4 lb of meat then sells it for 2 and 2/3 pounds to the customer what is the maximum amount me that the
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The maximum amount of meat that the butcher can sell is  3\frac{1}{12}\:lb

Explanation:

The maximum amount can be found by taking the difference of mixed numbers.

5\frac{3}{4}-2\frac{2}{3}\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:5-2=3\\\\\mathrm{Combine\:fractions:\:}\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{12}\\\\=3\frac{1}{12}\\

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and changing states of matter?
oee [108]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.
