Answer: a. nuclear fission.

Explanation:

Nuclear power plants use heavy materials, like uranium 238, which is bombarded with neutrons. When the neutrons interact with the uranium, there is fission (a division of one atom into smaller ones and other subatomic particles), and in this process, more neutrons are produced. These new neutrons may impact other atoms of uranium and continue with this cycle, generating heat in the process.

Then we can conclude that nuclear power plants produce energy using nuclear fission.

What is the mass of a 14.6 cm3 cube of mercury (density 13.6 g/cm3)?

otez555 [7]

Density = mass/ volume
13.6g/cm^3 = m /14.6cm^3
13.6g/cm^3 *14.6 cm^3 = m
198.56g = m

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

open source Software

Explanation:

An open source software can be any software made available within an open source license which means that anyone can access its source code, see that it was created and, as the question says, "study, change and improve it."

This is contrary to copyrighted or closed source software where you would require a license to use the software, however, we can not see or amend in the "building blocks" (i.e. code)

When mapping the equipotentials on the plates with different electrode configurations you may find that there are significant re

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The electric field at that point is $E = 66.66 \Delta V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance is $d = 1.5 cm = \frac{1.5}{100} = 0.015 \ m$

Generally the electric field at this region is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{\Delta V }{d}$

So $\Delta V$ is the electric potential difference between the electrods

So the equation becomes

$E = \frac{\Delta V }{0.015}$

$E = 66.66 \Delta V$

When the value of potential difference from the manual is substituted for

$\Delta V$ is substituted the we would arrive at the value of E but these is not available( $\Delta V$ ) i will leave the solution in terms of $\Delta V$
