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.

What is the role of equations in this course?

Karolina [17]

That will depend on which course you're talking about. It will be a minor role in, say, Maritime Law or Comparitive Religion, but a major one in, say, Particle Physics or Linear Algebra.

two 2.5 kg balls move away from each other one traveling 3 m/s to the right the other 4 m/s to the left what is the magnitude of

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

2.5 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Taking left side as positive while right side direction as negative then

Momentum, p= mv where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of travel

Momentum for ball moving towards right side=mv=2.5*-3=-7.5 kg.m/s

Momentum for the ball moving towards the left side=mv=2.5*4=10 kg.m/s

Total momentum=-7.5 kg.m/s+10 kg.m/s=2.5 kg.m/s

A particle moving in the x direction is being acted upon by a net force f(x)=cx2, for some constant

makkiz [27]

The work-energy theorem states that the change in kinetic energy of the particle is equal to the work done on the particle:
$\Delta K = W$
The work done on the particle is the integral of the force on dx:
$W= \int\limits^{3L}_L {F(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^{3L}_L {cx^2} \, dx = \frac{26}{3}cL^3$
So, this corresponds to the change in kinetic energy of the particle.
