Physic - Modern physic

 The process by which protons are converted into helium atoms with a tremendous release of energy is called?



A) thermionic emission

B) nuclear fission

C) thermonuclear fusion

D) photoelectric emission



The correct answer is C.


Explanation:

Thermionic emission: thermally induced flow of charge

Nuclear fission: nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process

Photoelectric emission: emission of electrons or other free carriers when light shines on a material

Physics - Scalers and Vectors

  Introduction to Vectors and Scalars We come into contact with many physical quantities in the natural world on a daily basis. For example, things like time, mass, weight, force, and electric charge, are physical quantities with which we are all familiar. We know that time passes and physical objects have mass. Things have weight due to gravity. We exert forces when we open doors, walk along the street and kick balls. We experience electric charge directly through static shocks in winter and through using anything which runs on electricity. There are many physical quantities in nature, and we can divide them up into two broad groups called vectors and scalars. Scalars and Vectors Scalars are physical quantities which have only a number value or a size (magnitude). A scalar tells you how much of something there is. Definition: Scalar A scalar is a physical quantity that has only a magnitude (size). For example, a person buys a tub of margarine which is labelled with a mass of 500g....

Mathematics - Probability

-PROBABILITY = Number of POSSIBLE EVENT Number of TOTAL OUTCOME   Question 1 Teams P and Q are involved in a game of football. What is the probability that the game ends in a draw? Options A) ⅔ B) ½ C) ⅓ D) ¼ Solution: In a football game, one team either wins or there is a tie. This means there are three possible outcomes: a win, a loss or a draw. Therefore, the probability of a draw is ⅓ The correct answer is C. Question 2 Given distribution of color beads: blue, black, yellow, white and brown with frequencies 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Find the probability that a bead picked at random will be blue or white. Options A) 7/15 B) 2/5 C) 1/3 D) 1/15 Solution: Total number of beads = 15. Number of white beads = 4. ⇒P(white) = 4/15 Number of blue beads = 1. ⇒P(blue) = 1/15 P(white or blue) = P(white) + P(blue) =5/15 🔶P(white or blue) = ⅓ The correct answer is C. Question 3 A die is rolled, find the probability that an even number is obtained. Options A. ⅙ B. ¼ C. ⅓ D. ½ Solution...
