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.

A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity of the ball the instant bef
inessss [21]

Answer:

29.396988 m/s

Explanation:

Really, it depends on where the child is when he drops the ball - e.g., which planet he is on, and his distance from the center of that planet.

I'll assume that the child is on Earth at sea level at the equator, so that his distance from the geocenter is 6378000 meters.

The acceleration, g, is found from

g = GM/r²

G = 6.6743e-11 m³ kg⁻¹ sec⁻²

M = 5.9724e+24 kg

r = 6.378e+6 m

g = 9.799086 m sec⁻²

An approximate answer is found from an equation from constant acceleration kinematics:

v = gt

t = 3.0 sec

v = 29.397259 m/s

Now, the above method is an approximation that makes the technically incorrect assumption that the acceleration of gravity is a constant throughout the entire fall. You get away with it because the drop is very short. In another situation, it might not be. So it would be nice to develop a more accurate method that does not assume constant gravitational acceleration. For that, we begin with the Vis Viva equation:

v = √[GM(2/r − 1/a)]

Here,

a = the semimajor axis of a plunge orbit, which is equal to half of the apoapsis distance of 6378000+h, where

h = the altitude from which the ball is dropped

We can (using some math) develop the following equation:

t − t₀ = √[d/(2GM)] { √(rd−r²) + d arctan √(d/r−1) }

t − t₀ = 3 sec

r = 6378000 meters

d = r + h

Using an iterative method (e.g. Newton's or Danby's), we can determine that the altitude,

h = 44.0954 meters

So,

d = 6378044.09538 meters

a = d/2 = 3189022.04769 meters

Now we can calculate that

v = 29.396988 m/s

This is the more nearly correct answer because it takes into account the variability of the gravitational acceleration during the fall.

What reactions do catalytic converters catalyze
Yuliya22 [10]
A catalytic converter is an exhaust emission control device that reduces toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine into less-toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction (an oxidation and a reduction reaction).

In a thunderstorm, electric charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. Thus, the charge can be considere
muminat

Answer:

2.1\cdot 10^{21} electrons

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field outside an electrically charged sphere is given by the equation

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge stored on the sphere

r is the distance (from the centre of the sphere) at which the field is calculated

In this problem, the cloud is assumed to be a  charged sphere, so we have:

E_b=3.00\cdot 10^6 N/C is the maximum electric field strength tolerated by the air before breakdown occurs

r=1.00 km = 1000 m is the radius of the sphere

Re-arranging the equation for Q, we find the maximum charge that can be stored on the cloud:

Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(3.00\cdot 10^6)(1000)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}=333.3 C

Assuming that the cloud is negatively charged, then

Q=-333.3 C

And since the charge of one electron is

e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

The number of excess electrons on the cloud is

N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{-333.3}{-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=2.1\cdot 10^{21}
