Once started, why can nuclear fission continue to occur on its own?

A
The thermal energy released can cause the products to join.
B
The neutron formed by the reaction can cause more nuclei to combine.
C
The thermal energy released can cause the products to split.
D
A neutron begins the reaction, and more neutrons are formed in it.

A ray of light strikes a smooth surface and is reflected. The angle of incidence is 35°.

A
Rays will bounce in all directions, so the angle of reflection will be random.
B
Rays will bounce in all directions, so the angle of reflection will be less than 35°.
C
Rays will follow the law of reflection, so the angle of reflection will be 35°.
D
Rays will follow the law of reflection, so the angle of reflection will be random.

Consider this image of a wave.

Question illustration
A
A graph with time in second on the x axis from 0 to 8 and amplitude on the y axis from 2 to 2. The wave starts at the origin and the trough goes up to .8, back down through .75 s and all the way down to 2 before going back up to 2 on the other side of the x axis. It is a repeated pattern with on trough and 3 crests with different amplitude.
Option A
B
A graph with time in second on the x axis from 0 to 8 and amplitude on the y axis from 2 to 2. The wave starts at the origin and the trough goes down to 2, back up through 1 s and all the way up to .7 before going back down to .2 on the other side of the x axis. It is a repeated pattern with on trough and 3 crests with different amplitude.
Option B
C
A graph with time in second on the x axis from 0 to 8 and amplitude on the y axis from 2 to 2. The wave starts at the origin and the trough goes down to .6, back up through 1s and all the way up to .6 before going back down to .4 on the other side of the x axis. It is a repeated pattern with on trough and 3 crests with different amplitude.
Option C
D
A graph with time in second on the x axis from 0 to 8 and amplitude on the y axis from 2 to 2. The wave starts at the origin and the trough goes down to 2, back up through 1s and all the way up to .7 before going back down to .2 on the other side of the x axis. Then back up to .3 on the other side of the x axis. The pattern repeats itself but flipped on the x axis

How are nuclear reactions used to meet the world’s energy needs?

A
Both fusion and fission are used to generate electricity, but more fission reactors than fusion reactors are in use.
B
Fission reactors are used to generate electricity, but fusion is not yet practical enough to be used.
C
Both fusion and fission are used to generate electricity, but more fusion reactors than fission reactors are in use.
D
Fusion reactors are used to generate electricity, but fission is not yet practical enough to be used.

Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. What best describes the motion of the students?

A

B
At the exact time, all students take a step to the right.
C
The students skip clockwise, going in a circular motion.
D
One at a time, each student lifts his or her hands up and then down.
