Answer:

The table tennis balls represent neutrons that are released when the nucleus splits and cause other nuclei to split

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is defined as the separation of a nucleus into two smaller nuclei.

It takes a neutron to set off a nuclear fission reaction. When that occurs, neutrons are released and those neutrons in turn are what set off other nuclear fissions. This is defined as a Nuclear Fission Chain Reaction. In the model, the one tennis ball that will be thrown will  be modeled as the starting neutron that sets of the initial (first) fission. The mouse traps with tennis balls represent the other nucleuses waiting to be struck by the one tennis ball. Once the initial tennis ball strikes the first mouse trap, that mouse trap will release its tennis ball hitting others and continuing the cycle.

It can also be modeled as such:

Why do airbags fill evenly with gases?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The signal from the deceleration sensor ignites the gas-generator mixture by an electrical impulse, creating the high-temperature condition necessary for NaN3 to decompose. The nitrogen gas that is generated then fills the airbag.

basically, the nitrogen fills the bag
