Answer:

Uses nuclear reactions to produce energy

Implodes a fuel pellet

Explanation:

Laser fusion is a method of initiating nuclear fusion reactions through heating, and compressing fuel pellets containing deuterium and tritium using high energy density laser beams. Lase fusion is also known as inertial confinement fusion and the energy produced by the process is known as Laser Inertial Fusion Energy, LIFE.

During the process of laser fusion, small pellets of deuterium-tritium (DT) isotopes mixture are fed into a blast chamber where they are compressed to high densities using a number of amplified laser beams in the chamber.

The high energy density of the beams as well as the heat produced due to compression, induces the thermonuclear explosion ignition resulting in the production of high energetic products such as charged particles, x-rays and neutrons. The energy produced is absorbed and stored as heat in a blanket that is then used in a steam thermal cycle to generate electrical power.

There are two methods of compression of the DT pellet: direct and indirect-drive laser fusions.

However, there are a number of limitations to energy production by this process. One limitation is that the process is extremely inefficient in energy energy production. Also, the heat produced by the flashtubes results innthe deformation of the laser glass.

Ordinary water boils at 100°C. Can it be made to boil at 95°C or 105°C.​
slava [35]

It can be done. Normally the boiling point of water is 100°C. It will boil at temperature greater than 100°C more quickly. Water can be boiled at 95°C but for that the atmospheric pressure of the water should be decreased which will decrease the boiling point of water.

<h3>Concept :</h3>

To boil water at 95°C, decrease the atmospheric pressure.

At 105°C, the water will be boiling quickly than normal at 100°C.

Calculate the number of calories needed to increase the temperature of 50.0 g of copper metal from 21.0 degrees C to 75.0 degree
KonstantinChe [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1031.4 Calories.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Mass of the copper metal = 50.0 g

Initial temperature = 21.0 °C

Final temperature, = 75°C

Change in temperature = 54°C

Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.382 Cal/g°C

We are required to calculate the amount of heat in calories required to raise the temperature of the copper metal;

Quantity of heat is given by the formula,

Q = Mass × specific heat capacity × change in temperature

   = 50.0 g × 0.382 Cal/g°C × 54 °C

   = 1031.4 Calories

Thus, the amount of heat energy required is 1031.4 Calories.
