What do humans use fission for?

One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^


Can we store nuclear energy in small packs?

Nuclear energy comes already stored in small packs called atoms. But as for out modest ability to access and harness it for good, we as humans are still a long way from a "small pack" of nuclear energy that might be used to generate electricity, warm food, or light a living space. Anyone who envisions a lunchbox sized nuclear energy source is thinking beyond our technical ability. About the best we can do is build a small nuclear reactor about the size of a shipping container to generate energy via fission.


Give one relevance of nuclear physics?

Nuclear physics is relevant to the average person in the way it affects energy use of humans. These advances include electricity, fission, nuclear power pants, and perhaps cold fusion in the future.


What are the pros and cons of nuclear fisson?

There are no pros or cons of nuclear fission, it simply IS.

What process changes hydrogen to helium in a star?

the process is called "nuclear fission ". that means the combining of two hydrogen atoms into one , that is helium . it generates huge amount of energy . it has not yet been done sucessfuly by humans , because it is unstable .however we have controlled nuclear fission . that is just the reverse of it

What is artificial energy?

There is no such thing. "Artificial" means made by humans; humans can't really MAKE energy. They can only harness EXISTING energy sources.For more information, I suggest you do some reading on "Conservation of energy", for example in the Wikipedia.
