Answer:

The correct option is D) Fission

Explanation:

There are several methods through which Radioactive isotopes are created.

Using a nuclear reactor that has a field of neutrons, insert a stable sample such as Lutetium-176. When it gets bombarded with neutrons, it acquires some, and fission is said to have occurred. Note that when Lutetium-176 acquires a neutron, it becomes radioactive Lu-177.
Fission is also used to create Fluorine-18. To obtain the same, you need to bombard pure or enriched [ $^{18} O$ ] water with ~18 MeV protons which are high energy in nature. The bombarding is achieved using a cyclotron or an accelerator.

“Most climate scientists believe that there is evidence that explains global warming” is best supported by this study.

The drastic increase in the emission of CO2 (carbon dioxide) within the last 30 yearscaused by burning fossil fuels has been identified as the major reason for the change of temperature in the atmosphere (click the following link for a summary and graphs about the cause and effects of global warming).

The correct answer between all the choices given is the last choice or letter D. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

a 45 kg ice skater initially skating at a velocity of 3 m/s speeds up to a velocity of 5 m/s. calculate the difference in the ma

ad-work [718]

Answer: 90 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum (linear momentum) $p$ is given by the following equation:

$p=m.V$

Where:

$m=45 kg$ is the mass of the skater

$V$ is the velocity

In this situation the skater has two values of momentum:

Initial momentum: $p_{1}=m.V_{1}$

Final momentum: $p_{2}=m.V_{2}$

Where:

$V_{1}=3 m/s$

$V_{1}=5 m/s$

So, if we want to calculate the difference in the magnitude of the skater's momentum, we have to write the following equation(assuming the mass of the skater remains constant):

$p=p_{2}-p_{1}=m.V_{2}-m.V_{1}$

$p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})$

$p=45 kg(5 m/s - 3 m/s)$

Finally:

$p=90 kgm/s$

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newtons is applied from the right? A. in the direction of the appl

-Dominant- [34]

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.
