What causes the nuclear reaction to keep going once it has started?

The nuclear reaction in nuclear power plants continues because of a self-sustaining chain reaction. In this process, neutrons produced by fission cause further fission in other uranium or plutonium nuclei, releasing more energy and more neutrons. This chain reaction is controlled and moderated by control rods to maintain a stable and controlled release of energy.


What is the reason an object keeps moving once an applied force causes it to start moving?

An object keeps moving once an applied force causes it to start moving because of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.


How is inertia involved with the falling of dominoes?

Inertia is involved in the falling of dominoes because once the first domino is pushed, it transfers its momentum to the next domino, causing a chain reaction. The inertia of each domino keeps it moving until it comes into contact with the next domino, continuing the process.


When you push something heavy the ressistance you feel decreases as the body starts moving explain what happens?

When you push something heavy, the resistance you feel decreases as the object starts moving because static friction transitions to kinetic friction. Static friction is the force that keeps an object at rest, while kinetic friction is the force that opposes motion once the object starts moving. As the object overcomes static friction and transitions to kinetic friction, the resistance you feel decreases.


When does thermonuclear fusion reaction start?

In stars it starts due to the great pressure at the star's center, which compresses the hydrogen and raises temperature to a condition where fusion commences. On Earth in man made equipment such as tokamaks, the pressure is much lower and the temperature has to be raised to hundreds of millions of degC to start fusion in a plasma of deuterium and tritium

Is there energy consumed at any time during an exothermic reaction?

Yes, energy is consumed during the initiation of an exothermic reaction to break bonds in reactant molecules. Once the reaction starts, it releases more energy than it consumes, resulting in a net release of energy overall.


Something that starts a chain reaction?

A domino falling and knocking down the next one in line is an example of something that starts a chain reaction. Once the first domino falls, it sets off a sequence of events where each subsequent domino falls as a result of the one before it.

The burning of charcoal is a spontaneous processyet heat must first be applied to start a charcoal why?

The combustion of charcoal is an exothermic reaction: once the reaction starts, it releases heat, making it self-sustaining. However, initially, an external source of heat is required to overcome the activation energy barrier and initiate the reaction. Once started, the reaction releases enough heat to sustain itself.

Yes, the Greenwich meridian passes through the western part of France.


Before reaction of kmno4 with oxalic acid why the reaction is slow and after reaction very fast why?

Before the reaction of KMnO4 with oxalic acid, the reaction is slow because the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed is high. However, once the reaction starts and the first few molecules react to form products, the activation energy decreases significantly, making it easier for subsequent molecules to react. This results in a faster reaction rate after the initial slow phase.


What do magnets do to thermo nuclear reaction?

In a tokamak device, which is the most promising for developing fusion power on Earth, the ionised plasma of the fuel material must be contained in a ring doughnut shaped compartment at very high temperature, a magnetic field is used to control the plasma to keep in the ring shape wihout ever touching the sides. The magnetic field does not actually control the nuclear reaction which is brought about by the high temperature, but it keeps the reaction steady once it starts (in theory, only very short pulses have been achieved so far).
