Answer:

option (D)

Explanation:

It is controlled by the amount of neutrons available.

The rate of fission of heavy element is controlled by the number the number of neutrons. in the fission reaction of Uranium - 235, when one neutron is bombarded on one Uranium 235, three neutrons, small elements along with lot of energy is produced. Now three neutrons bombard three Uranium 235 atoms so that the lot of amount of energy is liberated. it is called uncontrolled chain reaction.

When the number of neutrons are absorbed and only one neutron is available for fission, then energy is in controlled manner and it is called controlled fission reaction. In this reaction, controlled amount of energy is released.

A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 50 times as massive and falling at 8.1 m/s , a typical raindrop speed. how fast

Airida [17]

here we will use the momentum conservation

initial total momentum = final total momentum

$P_i = P_f$

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

now plug in all data here

$m(0) + 50m(8.1) = mv + 50mv$

$405 = 51 v$

$v = 7.94 m/s$

so the final speed will be 7.94 m/s

The escape speed from an object is v2 = 2GM/R, where M is the mass of the object, R is the object's starting radius, and G is th

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Approximate escape speed = 45.3 km/s

Explanation:

Escape speed

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

Here we have

Gravitational constant = G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

R = 1 AU = 1.496 × 10¹¹ m

M = 2.3 × 10³⁰ kg

Substituting

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 2.3\times 10^{30}}{1.496\times 10^{11}}}=4.53\times 10^4m/s=45.3km/s$

Approximate escape speed = 45.3 km/s
