Answer:

Fusion

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound.

On the other hand, a nuclear reaction can be defined as a reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is transformed by being joined (fusion) or split (fission) with the nucleus of another atom of a radioactive element.

This ultimately implies that, during fusion, two smaller atoms fuse to form a larger atom. Thus, fusion involves the joining of two smaller nuclei of atoms to form a single massive or heavier nucleus with the release of energy.

Additionally, the energy that holds the neutrons and protons found in the nucleus of an atom together is known as Nuclear energy.

astraxan [27]

Best Answer: The net angle between the direction of flight of the aircraft and the wind in the opposing direction is 20. THe component opposing the aircraft is 2.4*cos 20 KN
= 2400 * 0.9397 = 2255.2622 N. The distance covered is 120 Km
The work done by the aircraft overcoming the wind is
= 2255.2622 * 120000 = 270631464 = 2.71 x 10^8 N
As the question is trickily worded as : the work done on the plane by the air (wind) the answer is -2.71 x 10^8 J . (fourth option)

Five hundred million years ago, basaltic lava flowed in an area now known as Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson.

Explanation:

Igneous - metamorphic - sedimentary

A rock cycle provides the cyclic transformation of one rock type to another in nature.

There are three main types of rock involved in the rock cycle;

igneous rocks are derived from the cooling and solidification of molten magma
metamorphic rocks are changed rocks subjected to intense pressure and temperature
sedimentary rocks are derived from rock sediments that have been lithified.

The history of the rock in Monticello begins with igneous rock formation. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Under intense pressure and temperature regimes, they are changed to metamorphic rocks.

Agents of denudation such as wind, water and glacier weathers the rock and disintegrates it. They are then carried into basins where they are deposited. Here they form sedimentary rock.

The process still goes on as the sedimentary rock gets taken into depth, they can either melt to form igneous rock or be changed to metamorphic rocks.
