What do you see everyday that produces a tremendous amount of nuclear energy?
sun
The amount of energy released during a nuclear reaction was established by who?
Many scientists determined this through series of tests after its invention.
Can you convert energy in to mass or mass into energy?
No. Nor can you convert mass into energy. In any reaction - including nuclear reactions - both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain the same, before and after the reaction. For example, the energy that escapes from a nuclear reaction also has a corresponding mass. On the other hand, the energy existed before the reaction as well, in the form of (nuclear) potential energy.
When an atom of uranium 235 is bombarded with neutrons it splits into smaller nuclei and produces a great amount of energy This nuclear process is called?
Nuclear fission
What is one of the main concerns with nuclear power?
The amount of radioactive waste it produces. And the problem of disposing of that waste.
What happens in a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear powerplant is a Thermal powerstation that uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity. The method: A nuclear fission or fusion reaction happens which produces up to 650 to 700 Degrees Of heat when controlled. This massive amount of heat is then open to massive amounts of water that produces steam which in turn the turbines that produces up to 10,000 Mega Watts of electricity.
When a nuclear fission reaction occurs an enormous amount of energy is released This energy comes from?
The release of excess binding energy.
What do you see everyday that produces a tremendous amount of nuclear energy?
sun
The amount of energy released during a nuclear reaction was established by who?
Many scientists determined this through series of tests after its invention.
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reaction?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
How beneficial is nuclear energy?
it produces electricity more quickly and in larj amount
which type of power production produces the least amount of greenhouse gases?
nuclear
How nuclear technologies produce enermouse amount of energy?
Nuclear fission produces energy 2.5 million times that of carbon of same mass. Nuclear fusion produces energy 400 times that of nuclear fission of same mass.
The energy in the sun is created by?
Nuclear fusion. Hydrogen atoms combine to become helium, and as a product if that reaction a tiny amount of energy is released as an explosion.
How does the sun goes on shining?
Due nuclear reaction on sun which are uncontrolled chain reaction with huge amount of energy
How is electricity created from uranium?
When uranium is brought together in sufficient quantities, the radiation it naturally gives off produces a chain reaction (in which the nuclear particles produces by the breakdown of uranium nuclei interact with other nuclei and cause them to break down as well). This reaction produces a tremendous amount of heat as a by-product. This heat is used to heat a quantity of water, and the resulting steam drives turbines which produce electricity.
What quantities do not change during a nuclear reaction?
If you consider the equation, E=mc2, you can see that an amount of mass can be considered as equal to an amount of energy. In other words, we could take all the mass in a nuclear reaction and figure out how much energy that represents. If you add that to the amount of energy present at the same time, you get a summation of energy (some of which is mass represented as energy). That amount of energy does not change in a nuclear reaction.
