"Acceleration" does NOT mean speeding up. It also doesn't mean
slowing down. Acceleration means ANY change in the speed
OR DIRECTION of motion.
The only kind of motion that's NOT accelerated is motion at a steady
speed AND in a straight line.
Even when your speed is steady, you're accelerating if your direction
is changing.
A few examples:
(no speeds are changing):
-- driving on a curved road, or turning a corner
-- going around a curve on a skateboard, a bike, or a Segway
-- running on a quarter-mile track
-- an Indy car cruising a practice lap around the track
-- water spinning, getting ready to go down the drain
-- any point on the blade of a fan
-- the little ball going around the inside of a Roulette wheel
-- the Moon in its orbit around the Earth
-- the Earth in its orbit around the sun
Answer:polymer are made of long chains of molecules
Explanation:
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.
