How is a fission chain-reaction similar to what happens when a row of dominoes falls?
In nuclear fission an electron is fired at the nuclei of a large atom, splitting it in two upon collision. From this split, the 2 halves of the nucleus are now new nuclei and 2 electrons are also emitted which collide with 2 new nuclei, and so on as more nuclei are split and produce more electrons for more splits.

How do dominoes model a wave pulse?
In a domino chain, when you knock over the first domino, it transfers energy to the next domino, causing it to fall. This transfer of energy is similar to how a wave pulse propagates through a medium. The falling dominoes represent the wave spreading out from the point where it was initiated, just like a wave pulse traveling through a medium.
How are fusion and fission similar to chemical energy?
Fusion and fission are both nuclear processes that release large amounts of energy by breaking or combining atomic nuclei, while chemical energy involves the breaking or forming of chemical bonds to release energy. All three processes involve converting mass into energy through different mechanisms.
How does Thorium produce electricity?
Thorium can produce electricity through a process called nuclear fission. When thorium nuclei absorb a neutron, they can split, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity.
Is splitting an atom's nucleus called fission or fusion?
Splitting an atomic nucleus is atomic fission. Fusion is the fusing or "forcing together" of particles or lighter atomic nuclei that then "stick together" to form a heavier atomic nucleus. Use the links below to learn more.Apex= Fission (Ryan Mcaphee =] )
What happens to the wave energy IF the mediums are similar?
If the mediums are similar, there will be minimal reflection of the wave at the interface between the two mediums. Instead, the wave energy will mainly continue traveling through the two similar mediums without significant changes in its behavior.
How are fission and fission similar?
Fusion and fission are similar in that they both reduce mass and thereby release binding energy.
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
How are fissions and fusion similar?
Fusion and fission are similar in that they both reduce mass and thereby release binding energy.
How is binary fission in prokaryotic organisms similar to and different from mitosis and cytokinesis in eukaryotic organisms?
it is the sexual reproduction while in the cell mitosis happens... the proteins find cells and pair them with sexual reproduction!AAHHH
How is binary fission in prokaryotic organisms similar to and different from mitosis and cytokinesis in single-cell eukaryotic organism?

How is binary fission prokaryotic organisms similar to and different from mitosis and cytokinesis in single-celled eukaryotic organisms?
Binary fission in prokaryotic organisms is similar to mitosis and cytokinesis in single-celled eukaryotic organisms as they both result in two daughter cells being formed. However, binary fission lacks the phases of mitosis seen in eukaryotic cell division, such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Instead, binary fission directly splits the cell into two identical daughter cells.
How are are binary fission and mitosis similar how are they different?
they are different because Binary is a prokaryotic cell and mitosis is a eukaryotic.
How is bianry fission a similar process?
Binary fission is a similar process for multiple reasons. One reason is that it is a form of asexual reproduction. It also replicates DNA during its process. The process also ends in cytokinesis.
In what ways are fission and fusion similar?
Fission and fusion are both nuclear reactions that release energy by altering the nucleus of an atom. Both processes involve the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei to release energy.
How are Human skeletal muscles similar to bacteria?
Produce lactic acid when oxygen is not available for respitation.
Are all fission events in a chain reaction identical?
Nuclear event in a chain reaction could be said to be similar, but not identical. We need to look a bit more closely at a fission event to understand why. In a fission event in a chain reaction, a neutron is absorbed by a fissile nucleus, and the resulting instability causes that nucleus to fission, or split. When the nucleus splits, it splits into two approximately parts (called fission fragments), but not the same two parts will appear in every fission event. And one, two or three neutrons might appear, depending on exactly which two fission fragments appear. The total energies in the events will vary from event to event as well, and this has something to do with the energy the absorbed neutron brings when it is absorbed. We know fission events are similar, but there are variations that preclude them being identical.
