Answer: The major challenges are as
1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.
2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.
3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.
Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.
Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.
It's about 6 minutes, as I seem to recall. Sort of the time for the earth to go into shadow darkness when there's an eclipse ???
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) Conservation of momentum is followed
m₁ v₁ = m₂ v₂
3m x 2 = m v
v = 6 m/s
Total kinetic energy
= 1/2 x .35 x 6 ² + 1/2 x 1.05 x 2 ²
= 8.4 J
This energy must be stored as elastic energy in the spring which was released as kinetic energy on burning the cord.
Yes , the conservation of momentum will be followed in the bursting apart process. Only internal forces have been involved in the process. Two equal and opposite internal forces are created by spring which creates motion and generates kinetic energy.
Answer:
Momentum of block B after collision =
Explanation:
Given
Before collision:
Momentum of block A = 
= 
Momentum of block B = 
= 
After collision:
Momentum of block A = 
= 
Applying law of conservation of momentum to find momentum of block B after collision 
.
Plugging in the given values and simplifying.
Adding 200 to both sides.
∴ 
Momentum of block B after collision =
Answer:
when a two bodies A and B are moving at an angle 180° with each other then the relative velocity is the sum of bodies the velocity .i.e,
when the bodies move the opposite direction
then their relative velocity is the sum of individual velocities.
