What’s the similarity between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion

Physics
1 answer:
Darya [45]3 years ago
4 0

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.

What is the role of magnetism in the study of x-ray imaging?
Helga [31]
The high voltage generators which are used in X-Ray imaging system are magnetic devices. There are various magnetic X-rays imaging techniques.

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiations. X-ray imaging creates picture of the inside of your body. Polarized x-rays have emerged as unique probed due to their specific interaction with magnetic materials.Magnetic resonance imaging deals with static and varying magnetic fields.

My Notes (a) A 41 Ω resistor is connected in series with a 6 µF capacitor and a battery. What is the maximum charge to which thi
Lilit [14]

Explanation:

The give data is as follows.

             C = 6 \mu F = 6 \times 10^{-6} F

             V = 6 V

Now, we know that the relation between charge, voltage and capacitor for series combination is as follows.

              Q = CV

                  = 6 \times 10^{-6} F \times 6 V

                  = 36 \times 10^{-6} C

or,               = 36 \mu C

Thus, we can conclude that maximum charge of the given capacitor is 36 \mu C.

For lunch you and your friends decide to stop at the nearest deli and have a sandwich made fresh for you with 0.300 kg of Italia
Oliga [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=0.3 kg

m_2=0.4 kg

Spring constant,k=200 N/m

h=0.250 m

a.Speed of ham before collision

u=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.25}=2.2m/s

Collision is inelastic

According to law of conservation of momentum

m_1u_1=(m_1+m_2)v

0.3\times 2.2=(0.3+0.4)v

v=\frac{0.3\times 2.2}{0.7}=0.94 m/s

Kinetic energy of masses=Spring potential energy at maximum distance

\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

A^2=\frac{(m_1+m_2)v^2}{k}

A=\sqrt{\frac{(m_1+m_2)v^2}{k}}

Substitute the values

A=\sqrt{\frac{(0.3+0.4)\times (0.94)^2}{200}}=0.056 m=0.056\times 100=5.6 cm

1 m=100 cm

b.Time period,T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{(m_1+m_2)}{k}}

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{(0.3+0.4)}{200}}=0.37 s
