What’s the similarity between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion

Physics

Explanation:

At first sight, it doesn’t make sense that both fission and fusion release energy.

The key is in how tightly the nucleons are held together in a nucleus. If a nuclear reaction produces nuclei that are more tightly bound than the originals, then the excess energy will be released.

It turns out that the most tightly bound atomic nuclei are around the size of iron-56.

Thus, if you split a nucleus that is much larger than iron into smaller fragments, you will release energy because the smaller fragments are at a lower energy than the original nucleus.

If instead you fuse very light nuclei to get bigger products, energy is again released because the nucleons in the products are more tightly bound than in the original nuclei.

natita [175]

Answer:

Use Fc centripetal force as positive and W the weight as negative

N = m v^2 / R + m g

v^2 = (N - m g) R / m

v^2 = (995 - 57 * 9.8) 42.7 / 57 = 327 m^2/s^2

v = 18.1 m/s

Note: N - m g is the net force producing the centripetal force

If a car was cruising down the highway at 80 km/hr, how fast would the people inside the car be traveling?

wolverine [178]

Because the people in the car are attached to the vehicle, the people inside the vehicle are going the same speed as the vehicle.

Hope this helps! :)

If John goes running around his neighborhood everyday after work, the health-related factors that he will be improving through this type of training is any factors that involve the improvement of cardiorespiratory systems. This would improve a lot such as his circulation, endurance, stamina, and etc. Hope this helps.
