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.

A particle with mass 1.81*10^-3kg and a charge of 1.22*10^-8C has, at a given instant, a velocity v= (3.0*10^4 m/s)j.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

a = -0.33 m/s² k^

Direction: negative

Explanation:

From Newton's law of motion, we know that;

F = ma

Now, from magnetic fields, we know that;. F = qVB

Thus;

ma = qVB

Where;

m is mass

a is acceleration

q is charge

V is velocity

B is magnetic field

We are given;

m = 1.81 × 10^(−3) kg

q = 1.22 × 10 ^(−8) C

V = (3.00 × 10⁴ m/s) ȷ^.

B = (1.63T) ı^ + (0.980T) ȷ^

Thus, since we are looking for acceleration, from, ma = qVB; let's make a the subject;

a = qVB/m

a = [(1.22 × 10 ^(−8)) × (3.00 × 10⁴)ȷ^ × ((1.63T) ı^ + (0.980T) ȷ^)]/(1.81 × 10^(−3))

From vector multiplication, ȷ^ × ȷ^ = 0 and ȷ^ × i^ = -k^

Thus;

a = -0.33 m/s² k^

620 J of heat is added to the cylinder of an engine, which causes the gas inside to expand. As a result, the piston of the engin
Maru [420]

Answer:

<u>400</u> J work is done BY the engine.

The internal energy of the gas is <u>620</u> J

Explanation:

The given information are;

The heat added to the cylinder = 620 J

The force applied by the piston of the engine = 8.0 kN = 8,000 N

The distance over which the force moves (the piston) = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

The work done (by the engine) = Force × Distance = 8,000 N × 0.05 m = 400 J

The internal energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the system

Therefore, given that the internal energy, U, is the sum total of the energy in the system

∴ U = The heat supplied to the system = 620 J

Which gives;

<u>400</u> J work is done BY the engine.

The internal energy of the gas is <u>620</u> J.

A police car chases a speeder along a straight road towards a cliff both vehicles move at 160km/h the siren on the police car pr
natta225 [31]

Answer:

f ’= 97.0 Hz

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the doppler effect use the frequency change due to the relative movement of the fort and the observer

in this case the source is the police cases that go to vs = 160 km / h

and the observer is vo = 120 km / h

the relationship of the doppler effect is

          f ’= f₀ (v + v₀ / v- v_{s})

let's reduce the magnitude to the SI system

            v_{s} = 160 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 44.44 m / s

            v₀ = 120 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 33.33 m / s

we substitute in the equation of the Doppler effect

          f ‘= 100 (330+ 33.33 / 330-44.44)

          f ’= 97.0 Hz
