8) the energy released by fusion is generally 3 to 4 times larger than with fission. Fission has very few by-products but fusion releases large amounts of radioactive particles because it starts with large nuclei.
9) Alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons all put together. It's really the nucleus of a helium atom. It is most dangerous if you ingest it but it can be stopped with a sheet of paper so outside the body it's not as dangerous as others and due to its size it can't get very far in the air before hitting air molecules
beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons. They travel further due to their small size but can be stopped by a thin barrier of plastic or wood.
Gamma rays are high frequency photons (light) They are stopped by metal plates and go through human tissue. They are quite dangerous.
10) The mass that is lost in chemical reactions is very small. Solve E=mc² for mass and you get m=E/c². This says the mass you lose is equal to the energy you gained divided by the speed of light squared. c² is a VERY big number so you need a lot of energy produced to notice it. Chemical reactions are simply too inefficient to get that much energy out.
11)You need high temperatures for fusion because you're trying to push two atoms together (to "fuse" them as the name suggests) The electrons in one atom repel the other electrons in the other atoms. When stripped down to only protons, you still have to overcome this repulsion (Coulomb repulsion). High temperatures means high velocity of the particles in the plasma. This gives them enough "oomph" to get close enough to fuse. Once close enough to each other, the nuclear force takes over and overwhelms the Coulomb repulsion and the nuclei fuse and release energy in doing so.
Answer:
For the given conditions the fundamental frequency is 3728.26 Hertz
Explanation:
We know that for a pipe open at one end and closed at other end the fundamental frequency is given by
where
f is the fundamental frequency
is the speed of sound in air in the surrounding conditions.
L = Length of the pipe
Applying values we get and using speed of sound as 343m/s we get
Answer:
240N
Explanation:
The formula for force is F=mass×acceleration.
Therefore, Force= 120×2= 240N
Answer:
Number of gallons =2 gallon
Explanation:
given data:
rate of gasoline ineurope = 5 euro per liter
total money to buy gasoline = 40 euro
total gasoline an american can buy in europe 
= 8 litres of gasoline
As given in the question 1 ltr is 1 quarts therefore
Total no. of quarts is 8 quarts
As from question 4 quarts is equal to one gallon, hence
Number of gallons
