Why isn't nuclear fusion used to generate electric energy in power plants?


A.
It requires extremely high pressure.

B.
It uses a very rare radioactive isotope.

C.
It releases less energy per gram than uranium does.

D.
It requires converting matter into energy.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) It requires extremely high pressure.

Explanation:

The reasons why we haven't been able to harness power from fusion is that its energy requirements are unbelievably, terribly high.

Answer 2

The correct statement is: "nuclear fusion requires extremely high pressure."

To find the correct statement among all the options, we need to know about nuclear fusion.

What is nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which nuclei are fused to form another nucleus and releases some energy.

How much pressure is required for nuclear fusion?

In a nuclear fusion reaction, 250 billions atmospheric pressure is required. One atmospheric pressure is 101325 pascals.Creating this much pressure is very much difficult.

How much energy is released during nuclear fusion?

In nuclear fusion, 17.6 MeV energy is released in a single reaction. Since, two hydrogen atoms are participated, so energy released per nucleon is 8.8 MeV.

What is the comparison of energy that released in nuclear fusion and fission?

In a nuclear fission reaction, 200 MeV energy is released in a single reaction and energy per nucleon is less than 1 MeV as an uranium has 238 nucleons.So, nuclear fusion reaction releases more energy as compared to that of nuclear fission.

How does we get energy in the nuclear fusion reaction?

In a nuclear fusion reaction, two hydrogen atoms are fused to form a helium atom and the energy is released due the binding energy differences of hydrogen and helium atoms.

Thus, we conclude that option (A) is correct.

If it is known that a motor battery has an input voltage of 12V and a capacity of 6 Ah, how much power and resistor value is required to turn on 8 lamps with a parallel circuit, with the specifications of each lamp having a maximum voltage of 3V and an electric current of 140 mA? How long did all the lights go on until they off?

Answers

Answer:

Part A

The power to turn on the lamp, ∑P = 3.36 W

Part B

The Resistor required is approximately 8.04 Ohms

Part C

The time for all the lights to go out is approximately 21.43 hours

Explanation:

The input voltage of the motor battery , V = 12 V

The capacity of the battery, Q = 6 Ah

The number of lamps in parallel = 8 lamps

The maximum voltage of each lamp,  = 3 V

The electric current in each lamp = 140 mA

The energy available in a battery, E = Q × V

For the battery, we have;

E = 6 Ah × 12 V = 72 Wh

The energy available in a battery, E = 72 Wh

Part A

The power used by the lamps, [tex]P_i[/tex] = [tex]I_i[/tex] × [tex]V_i[/tex]

∴ The total power used by the lamp, ∑P = 8 × 0.14 A × 3 V = 3.36 W

The power to turn on the lamp, ∑P = 3.36 W

Part B

The resistance required, is given as follows;

Resistor required = (Battery voltage - Lamp voltage)/(The sum of bulb current)

∴ Resistor required = (12 V - 3 V)/(8 × 0.14 A)

The Resistor required = 8.03571429 Ohms

The Resistor required ≈ 8.04 Ohms

Part C

The time for all the lights to go out = The time for the lamps to use all the power available in the battery

The time for all the lights to go out, t = E/∑P

∴ t = 72 Wh/(3.36 W) = 21.4285714 h

∴ The time for all the lights to go out, t ≈ 21.43 h

The time for all the lights to go out = The time for the lamps to use all the power available in the battery = t ≈ 21.43 h

∴ The time for all the lights to go out ≈ 21.43 hours.

You can choose one that is listed or not listed.

Answers

Explanation:

With most of our blue planet covered by water, it's little wonder that, centuries ago, the oceans were believed to hide mysterious creatures including sea serpents and mermaids. Merfolk (mermaids and mermen) are, of course, the marine version of half-human, half-animal legends that have captured human imagination for ages. One source, the "Arabian Nights," described mermaids as having "moon faces and hair like a woman's but their hands and feet were in their bellies and they had tails like fishes."

C.J.S. Thompson, a former curator at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, notes in his book "The Mystery and Lore of Monsters" that "Traditions concerning creatures half-human and half-fish in form have existed for thousands of years, and the Babylonian deity Era or Oannes, the Fish-god ... is usually depicted as having a bearded head with a crown and a body like a man, but from the waist downwards he has the shape of a fish." Greek mythology contains stories of the god Triton, the merman messenger of the sea, and several modern religions including Hinduism and Candomble (an Afro-Brazilian belief) worship mermaid goddesses to this day.

A Scooter travelling at 10m/s speed up to 20m/s in 4 sec.find the acceleration of scooter​

A machine raised a load of 360N through a distance of 0.2m. The effort, a force of 50N moved 1.8m during the process. Calculate the efficiency of the machine.
Select one:
a. 40%
b. 100%
c. 80%
d. 60%

Answers

Answer:

c. 80%

Explanation:

Given;

load raised by the machine, L = 360 N

distance through which the load was raised, d = 0.2 m

effort applied, E = 50 N

distance moved by the effort, e = 1.8 m

The efficiency of the machine is calculated as follows;

[tex]Efficiency = \frac{ 0utput \ work }{1nput \ work} \times 100\% \\\\Efficiency = \frac{Load \ \times \ distance \ moved \ by \ load }{Efort \ \times \ distance \ moved \ by \ effort} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency = \frac{360 \times 0.2}{50 \times 1.8} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency =80\%[/tex]

Therefore, the efficiency of the machine is 80%

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1.-Energía eléctrica ( electricidad ) proveniente de una fuente AC ( es decir de corriente alterna)

2.-Hay un proveedor de servicios que lleva la energía a las comunidades en general y en particular la lleva hasta mi casa y escuela. Se define como acometida eléctrica, la infraestructura que lleva la energía desde la red de distribución al tablero principal en el abonado. La acometida puede ser aérea o subterránea, y normalmente consta de tres conductores ( de los cuales dos son calibre AWG # 8 ( dos fases ) y uno AWG # 10 ( neutro ). Esta configuración permite tener: 120 y 240 (V) en servicio en la casa y suficiente capacidad para la carga eléctrica de una casa normal

3.-Si, el tipo de corriente. En el caso de una linterna se usan "pilas" o baterías de corriente directa ( que no varia en el tiempo), en la casa la corriente es alterna de 60 ciclos por segundo de frecuencia.

4.-Si el voltaje es menor en una medida importante la ampolleta no alumbra por cuanto si por ejemplo el voltaje nominal ( o de funcionamiento es 120 V y el voltaje suministrado es 50 V ese voltaje será insuficiente para hacer funcionar el circuito). Si el voltaje es mayor dígamos 240 V la ampolleta se quema.

5.-El interruptor nos asegura la maniobra a nuestra voluntad del circuito del cual forma parte. Es decir si tengo un circuito de alumbrado ( 1 bombillo y un interruptor ) ese interruptor me permitirá apagar y encender la luz cuando yo quiera.

A .001 kg bead slides without friction around a loop-the-loop. The bead is released from a height of 20.6 m from the bottom of the loop-the-loop which has a radius 7 m. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s [photo] What is its speed at point A ? Answer in units of m/s. Your answer must be within ± 5.0%

Answers

Answer:

11.37 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 0.001 kg

Initial velocity; v1 = 0 m/s (since it was released from rest)

Initial height; h1 = 20.6m

From the attached image of the bead in the loop, we can see that height at A; h2 = twice the radius = 2R = 2 × 7 = 14 m

g = 9.8

To solve for the speed at point, we will use formula for conservation of energy. Thus;

½m(v1)² + mgh1 = ½m(v2)² + mgh2

Divide through by m to get;

½(v1)² + gh1 = ½(v2)² + gh2

Plugging in the relevant values;

½(0²) + (9.8 × 20.6) = ½(v2)² + (9.8 × 14)

Rearranging, we have;

½(v2)² = ½(0²) + (9.8 × 20.6) - (9.8 × 14)

Simplifying, we have;

½(v2)² = 64.68

Multiply both sides by 2 to get;

(v2)² = 2 × 64.68

(v2)² = 129.36

v2 = √129.36

v2 = 11.37 m/s

The mean orbital radius of the earth around the sun 1.5 × 108 km. Calculate the

mass of the sun if G = 6.67 × 10-11 Nm2/kg -2?​

Answers

Answer:

M = 1.994 × 10^(30) kg

Explanation:

We are given;

Orbital radius; r = 1.5 × 10^(8) km = 1.5 × 10^(11) m

Gravitational constant; G = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²

If the orbit is circular, the it means the gravitational force is equal to the centripetal force.

Thus; F_g = F_c

GMm/r² = mv²/r

Simplifying gives;

GM/r = v²

M = v²r/G

Now, v is the speed of the earth around the sun and from online sources it has a value of around 29.78 km/s = 29780 m/s

Thus;

M = (29780^(2) × 1.5 × 10^(11))/6.67 × 10^(-11)

M = 1.994 × 10^(30) kg

Assume each person's eyes are at a level 95% of their height. How tall a mirror should you buy

Answers

Answer:

119 cm

Explanation:

Given heights :  200cm , 188 cm , 175 cm, 160 cm

since the eyes are at 95% level

95% of 200 cm = 190 cm

95% of 160 cm = 152 cm

hence the allowable height of mirror = 200 - ( 5 + 76 ) = 119 cm

and The mirror should be hung 75cm from the floor

In the Challenge Solution, would it make a difference to the analysis whether the lump-sum costs such as registration fees are collected annually or only once when the firm starts operation? How would each of these franchise taxes affect the firm's long-run supply curve? The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) along with state transportation agencies in 38 states administer interstate trucking licenses through a Single State Registration System. However, the registration process is complex, time consuming, and expensive. There are many fees and costly regulations that a trucker or firm must meet to operate. For example, for a large truck, the annual federal interstate registration fee can exceed $8,000. These largely lump-sum costswhich are not related to the number of miles drivenhave increased substantially in recent years. What effect do these new fixed costs have on the trucking market price and quantity? Are individual firms providing more or fewer trucking services? Does the number of firms in the market rise or fall? The Challenge Solution suggests the market price will increase and the market quantity will decrease.
