Which atomic number is the threshold value below which fusion may occur?

Physics

Luda [366]3 years ago

Answer:

The atomic number 26(iron) is the threshold value below which the fusion might occur.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.

Energy released in a fusion reaction is because of a key feature of nuclear matter called the binding energy which is a measure of the efficiency with which its constituent nucleons are bound together.

As we go up in atomic number, the energy released per nuclei goes down until it hits a minimum which is for atomic number 26 (iron) and fusion is not possible.

Answer:

Atomic no. 26 i.e. Iron

Explanation:

Nuclear Fusion is a process in which two or more nucleus are fused(combined) together to make heavier nucleus and release a lot of energy and other subatomic particles in the process. Considerable amount of energy is required to fuse the nucleus together but the output energy is much more than the input energy. It becomes an exothermic process.

In case of heavier nuclei, this doesn't hold true as the process becomes endothermic. That means the output energy will be way lesser than the input energy given to fuse the nucleus. This happens for elements of atomic no. 26 or above. Even in stars we can find element till atomic no. 26 as they can be formed by fusion. When a star reaches to iron fusion stage that is the end of it and it explodes into a supernova.

neonofarm [45]

Answer: 405.3 minutes

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the following:

Fisrtly we calculate the volume of the wire, this is given by:

Vwire=π*r^2*L where r and L are the radius and L the length of teh wire, respectively.

Vwire=π*1.25*10^-3*0.26=1.27*10^-6 m^3

then the number of the total electrons in tthe wire volume is given by;

n° electrons in the wire=ρ*Vwire=8.4*10^28*1.27*10^-6 m^3=1.07 *10^23

Finally, considering the current in the wire equal to 4.4*10^18 electrons/s

the time consuming to extract all the electrons from the wire is given by:

t= total electrons in the wire/ current=1.067*10^23/4.4*10^18=24,318 s

equivalent to 405.3 minutes

How much force is needed to lift a 25-kg mass at a constant verlocity?
Troyanec [42]

-- In order to achieve constant verlocity, the net force on the mass must be zero.  So if there ARE any forces acting on it, they must be balanced.

-- There is already a force on the mass that can't be eliminated . . . the force of gravity.

-- That force due to gravity is (mass x gravity) = (25 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = <em><u>245N</u></em> in the <u><em>downward</em></u> direction.

-- In order to 'balance' the forces and make them add up to zero, we have to provide another force of <em>245N</em>, all in the <em>upward</em> direction.

-- Then the forces on the object will be balanced, the NET force on it will be zero, and whichever way you start it moving, it will continue to move at a cornstant verlocity.

Does hot air rise? Why?
pashok25 [27]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

does hot air rise

er substances, expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Because there is more space between the molecules, the air is less dense than the surrounding matter and the hot air floats upward. This is the concept used in the hot air balloons.
