Answer:
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the cube of the orbital radius and the square of the orbital period is constant for every object orbiting the Sun. So we can write
where
is the distance of the new object from the sun (orbital radius)
is the orbital period of the object
is the orbital radius of the Earth
is the orbital period the Earth
Solving the equation for , we find
Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.
Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.
The theorem is stated as where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.
One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the positron.
In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e
Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.
