Answer:The first task of a nuclear weapon design is to rapidly assemble a supercritical mass of fissile uranium or plutonium. A supercritical mass is one in which the percentage of fission-produced neutrons captured by another fissile nucleus is large enough that each fission event, on average, causes more than one additional fission event. Once the critical mass is assembled, at maximum density, a burst of neutrons is supplied to start as many chain reactions as possible. Early weapons used a modulated neutron generator codenamed "Urchin" inside the pit containing polonium-210 and beryllium separated by a thin barrier. Implosion of the pit crushed the neutron generator, mixing the two metals, thereby allowing alpha particles from the polonium to interact with beryllium to produce free neutrons. In modern weapons, the neutron generator is a high-voltage vacuum tube containing a particle accelerator which bombards a deuterium/tritium-metal hydride target with deuterium and tritium ions. The resulting small-scale fusion produces neutrons at a protected location outside the physics package, from which they penetrate the pit. This method allows better control of the timing of chain reaction initiation.

To solve this question, you must use the formula: q=mc(change in temperature), where q is heat, m is mass, C is specific heat and temperature change is temperature change. The specific heat for ice is 2.1kJ/Kg x K (given). The change in temperature is 15 degrees Celsius (which you should change to kelvins so you can cancel out units), or 273 + 15 = 288K. The mass is 150 grams, which is 0.15 kg. Now, we can solve for q, heat. We will do this by substituting variables into the formula. After simplifying and cancelling out units, the answer we get is: 90.72kJ.
Answer:
Because glaciers are so sensitive to temperature fluctuations accompanying climate change. so if it gets hotter then the ice glaciers will melt.
