When nuclear fission occurs _____.

Physics
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 years ago
7 0
In case of nuclear fission, the heavier nucleus captures the neutron and splits themselves into daughter nucleus or small fragments. The sum of mass of the fragments is less than the original mass. The missing mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence relation.

Why do you think the electron of the hydrogen atom stays close to the proton in the atom’s nucleus?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Electrons are retained by the electromagnetic force in the orbit around the nucleus since the nucleus is positively charged in the middle of the atom and absorbs the electrons charged negatively.

Hope this helps!

Joe and Jim start at rest at the starting line of a race track. Both runners accelerate at the same rate, but Joe accelerates fo
eduard

Answer:

Vf₂ = 2 Vf₁

It shows that final speed of Joe is twice the final speed of Jim.

Explanation:

First, we analyze the final speed of Jim by using first equation of motion:

Vf₁ = Vi + at

where,

Vf₁ = final speed of Jim

Vi = initial speed of Jim = 0 m/s

a = acceleration of Jim

t = time of acceleration for Jim

Therefore,

Vf₁ = at   ---------------- equation (1)

Now, we see the final speed of Joe. For Joe the parameters will become:

Vf = Vf₂

Vi = 0 m/s

a = a

t = 2t

Therefore,

Vf₂ = 2at  

using equation (1):

<u>Vf₂ = 2 Vf₁</u>

<u>It shows that final speed of Joe is twice the final speed of Jim.</u>

Darya [45]
<span>Water in the oceans may become fresh water available to humans through the processes of evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

In these processes, water is heated to a very high temperature until it evaporates in order to kill the germs and remove the salts which remains after water evaporation. The next step in condensing the water vapor (which is now fresh) and precipitating this vapor to be used by humans.</span>

There are two equations from which a change in the gravitational potential energy u of the system of a mass m and the earth can
Colt1911 [192]
The change in the gravitational potential energy is represented by the equation
u = ΔPE = Δmgh
since the mass of the system will remain constant and the acceleration due to gravity will also remain constant, the equation will become
u = mg Δh

Matthew drives 10 meters to go to the park at her the park he goes to the movie theatre which is 15 meters away from the park. H
Step2247 [10]

Answer: 0 m

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this movement, the body will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:

The trajectory is the <u>path followed by the body</u> (is a scalar quantity).  

The displacement is <u>the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position</u> (is a vector quantity).

According to this, in the description Matthew's home is placed at 0 on a number line, then he moves 10 m to the park (this is the distance between the park and Mattew's home), then 15 m to the movie theatre until he finally comes back to his home (position 0). So, in this case we are talking about the <u>path followed by Matthew</u>, hence <u>his trajectory</u>.

However, if we talk about Matthew's displacement, we have to draw a straight line between Matthew's initial position (point 0) to his final position (also point 0).

Now, being this an unidimensional problem, the displacement vector for Matthew is 0 meters.
