Of all the hydrogen in the oceans, 0.0300 % of the mass is deuterium. The oceans have a volume of 319 million mi³. If nuclear fusion were controlled and all the deuterium in the oceans were fused to ⁴₂He, the joules of energy released is E = 6.912× $10^-^1^2$ J

<h3>How is the energy in joules calculated for a controlled nuclear fusion with all the deuterium in oceans fused to ⁴₂He?</h3>

Given the percentage of hydrogen in the ocean = 0.300%

Volume of the ocean = 319 million mi³

Total volume of the ocean, V = 319 × $10^6$ mi³

V = 1.330× $10^1^8$ $m^3$

Density of water = 1000 kg/ $m^3$

Avogadro's number =6.022 × $10^2^3$

There are two hydrogen atoms in a water molecule

Molar mass of Hydrogen =2.016× $10^-^3$ kg/mole

Molar mass of deuterium molecule = 4.028204 × $10^-^3$ kg/mole

Total mass of sea = Volume × Density

= 1.330 × $10^2^1$ kg

Total number of water molecules available in the given mass of water =

[Mass of sea water / Molar mass of water] × Avogadro's number

= 4.446 × $10^4^6$

Total mass of hydrogen in the given mass of water =

[Number of water molecules × Molar mass of hydrogen molecule] / Avogadro's number

= 1.488 × $10^2^0$ kg

Total mass of deuterium in the calculated mass of hydrogen =

Mass of hydrogen × [ density / 100] =

4.464 × $10^1^6$ kg

Total number of deuterium atoms available=

[Total mass of deuterium / Molar mass of deuterium molecule] × Avogadro's number × 2 = 1.335 × $10^4^6$

The combined process consumes 6 deuterium atoms and produces two helium atoms and a total of

E = 43.2× $10^6$ eV of energy.

Therefore the energy release in the consumption of 6 atoms

E=43.2× $10^6$ ×1.6× $10^1^9$ $10^-^1^9$

E=6.912× $10^-^1^2$ J

This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Communication satellites

zhenek [66]

Answer:

the altitude of these satellites above the surface of the earth;

35790 km ( SI units )

22243.63 miles ( U.S. customary unit )

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Time taken by the satellite to complete on revolution is 23.934 hours

= 23.934 × 60 × 60 = 86162.4 seconds

now, let h represent altitude, r represent Orbit radius, v represent Orbit speed.

we know that

v² = GM/r

= gR²/r

= (9.81m/s² × ( 6.37 × 10⁶ m)²) / r

v = 19.95 × 10⁶ / √r ---------- let this be equation

also;

time t = 2πr/v

86162.4 s = 2πr/v -------- let this be equation 2

a) Determine the altitude of these satellites above the surface of the earth in both SI and U.S. customary units

we substitute v in equation into equation 2

so

86162.4 s = 2πr / (19.95 × 10⁶ / √r)

r = 42.16 × 10⁶ m

so, altitude h = r - R

h = 42.16 × 10⁶ m - 6.37 × 10⁶ m

h = 35790000 m

convert to kilometer

h = 35790000 / 1000

h = 35790 km

Convert to miles

h = 35790 / 1.609

h = 22243.63 miles

Therefore, the altitude of these satellites above the surface of the earth;

35790 km ( SI units )

22243.63 miles ( U.S. customary unit )

In the nuclear fission process mass is converted into energy. Determine the total mass that must be converted to energy in one y

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg

2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg

Explanation:

By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

$E=mc^{2}$

where,

'E' is the energy produced

'm' is the mass consumed

'c' is the velocity of light in free space

Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

$Energy=Power\times time\\\\\therefore Energy=1\times 10^{9}\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\\\Energy=31.536\times 10^{15}Joules$

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

$mass=\frac{Energy}{c^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{9\times 10^{16}}\\\\\therefore mass=0.3504kg$

Part 2)

At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

$mass|_{30}=\frac{mass|_{100}}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=\frac{0.3504}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=1.168kg$

A circular loop (radius of 20 cm) is in a uniform magnetic field of 0.15 T. What angle(s) between the normal to the plane of the

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The angle other than 90 degrees would result in magnetic flux of non zero magnitude.

Explanation:

The magnetic flux through a given closed area is equal to $\underset{B}{\rightarrow}.\underset{A}{\rightarrow}$ .

Where $\underset{B}{\rightarrow}$ is the magnitude of magnetic flux through loop .

$\underset{A}{\rightarrow}$ is the area vector of the given loop .

We know that $\underset{B}{\rightarrow}.\underset{A}{\rightarrow}$ = $\left | A \right |\left | B \right |\cos \theta$ ,

Where $\theta$ is the angle made by magnetic field with area vector.

Area vector of a closed loop is always normal to the plane of the loop .

So from above equation we can deduce that

$\theta = \cos^{-1}\frac{\phi }{\left | A \right |\left | B \right |}$

$\phi$ is the magnitude of magnetic flux which is non zero when $\theta$ not equal to 90 degrees.

It is measured that 3/4 of a body's volume is submerged in oil of density 800kg/m³

Evgesh-ka [11]

Complete question:

It is measured that 3/4 of a body's volume is submerged in oil of density 800kg/m³. What is the specific gravity of oil?

Answer:

The specific gravity of the oil is 0.8.

Explanation:

Given;

density of the oil, $\rho_o$ = 800 kg/m³

density of water, $\rho_w$ = 1000 kg/m³

The specific gravity of any substance is the ratio of the substance density to the density of water.

Specific gravity of the oil = density of the oil / density of water

Specific gravity of the oil = 800/1000

Specific gravity of the oil = 0.8

Therefore, the specific gravity of the oil is 0.8.
