Which equation shows why nuclear fission can produce a large amount of energy from very little mass?
E=mc^2
Why can the sun not be powered by a process such as the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen to form water?
Such a process would produce much, much less energy than nuclear reactions; the Sun would not be able to shine for billions of years, and producing the amount of energy it produces.Such a process would produce much, much less energy than nuclear reactions; the Sun would not be able to shine for billions of years, and producing the amount of energy it produces.Such a process would produce much, much less energy than nuclear reactions; the Sun would not be able to shine for billions of years, and producing the amount of energy it produces.Such a process would produce much, much less energy than nuclear reactions; the Sun would not be able to shine for billions of years, and producing the amount of energy it produces.
The amount of energy produced during nuclear fission is related to?
It is related to the specific nuclear reactor design including the nuclear fuel amount and the reactor control system and the energy extracting medium (coolant) capacity.

If the mass of the Sun decreases because of nuclear fusion why don't we see the Sun decreasing in size?
The amount of mass lost through nuclear fusion is only 7/10 of 1% of the mass of the four hydrogen nuclei. However, it takes a multitude of reactions for the Sun to produce the amount of energy that it does. Each second, the Sun’s lost mass is about 5 million metric tons. When compared to the Sun’s total mass, the amount lost through nuclear fusion is almost insignificant. Therefore, we don't see the Sun decreasing in size.
What energy resources can produce the most amount of energy from the smallest amount of fuel?
Nuclear reactions.
How did new technologies in farming affect people?
New technologies in farming have led to increased efficiency, productivity, and overall output of crops. This has allowed for people to have better access to food at lower costs, improved quality of products, and less manual labor required in the agricultural sector. Additionally, advancements in farm technologies have also enabled sustainable farming practices that help protect the environment and natural resources.
Does the US produce the most amount of nuclear energy in the world?
The most for one country, yes
Why is uranium so special?
The nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge amount of energy.This energy can be used in nuclear reactors to produce electricity/heat or in nuclear weapons.
Particles or waves given off by atoms undergoing nuclear decay produce?
Produce a large amount of heat and energy which is utilized for many purposes
Which equation shows why nuclear fission can produce a large amount of energy from very little mass?
E=mc^2
Is nuclaer energy renewable?
Not exactly, but there are enormous reserves of nuclear fuel available. This is because a small amount of uranium, for example, or of deuterium, produce a large amount of energy.
Why do nuclear fuel rods heat in a reactor that is shut down?
Because the fission products that are contained in the fuel are radioactive and produce a substantial amount of heat.
What is a nuclear arsenal?
An amount of nuclear weapons a country has
Which type of nuclear reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy?
A nuclear fusion reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy. This occurs when two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus. This releases a large amount of energy.
What are some benefits of a nuclear power plant?
Much cleaner than coal powered plants (no emissions) - although there is nuclear waste Produce relatively cheap energyProduces extremely large amount of energy compared to a coal plant
How does fission produce?
Nuclear fission is nuclear reaction in which nucleus of an atom , usually a heavy element, splits into smaller parts i.e. lighter nuclei . Free neutrons and photons are produced along with release of large amount of energy.
