Calculate the energy released in each of the following fusion reactions. Give your answers in MeV. (a) 2H + 3H → 4He + n 17.54 C

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a) E = 17.55 MeV

b) E = 18.99 MeV

c) E = 3.29 MeV

d) You can use the methods applied for the other parts to solve this, the equation is not properly written

e) E = 4.075 MeV

Explanation:

Energy Released, $E = \triangle M * 931.5$

$\triangle M = \sum M_{product} - \sum M_{reactant}$

Mass of 1H, $M_{H} = 1.007823$

Mass of 2H, $M_{2H} = 2.0141u$

Mass of 3H, $M_{3H} = 3.016 u$

Mass of Helium, $M_{4He} = 4.002602u$

Mass of Beryllium, $M_{7Be} = 7.01693 u$

Mass of neutron, $M_{n} = 1.008664 u$

a) $2H + 3H \rightarrow 4He + n$

$\triangle M = (4M_{He} + M_{n} ) - (2M_{H} + 3 M_{H} )\\\triangle M = ( 4.0026 + 1.008664) - (2.0141 + 3.016 )\\\triangle M = -0.01884u$

Energy released,

$E = -0.01884 * 931.5\\E = -17.55 Mev$

Energy released = 17.55 MeV

b) $4He + 4He \rightarrow 7Be + n$

$\triangle M = (M_{7Be} + M_{n} ) - (M_{4He} + M_{4He} )\\\triangle M = ( 7.01693 + 1.008664) - (4.002602 + 4.002602 )\\\triangle M = 0.02039 u$

Energy released,

$E = 0.02039 * 931.5\\E = 18.99 Mev$

c) $2H + 2H \rightarrow 3 He$ + n

$\triangle M = (M_{3He} + M_{n} ) - (M_{2H} + M_{2H} )\\\triangle M = ( 3.016 + 1.008664) - (2.0141 + 2.0141 )\\\triangle M = -0.003536 u$

Energy released,

$E = -0.003536 * 931.5\\E = -3.29 Mev$

E = 3.29 MeV(Energy is released)

d) You can use the methods applied for the other parts to solve this, the equation is not properly written

e) $2H + 2H \rightarrow 3H + 1H$

$\triangle M = (M_{3H} + M_{1H} ) - (M_{2H} + M_{2H} )\\\triangle M = ( 3.016 + 1.007825) - (2.0141 + 2.0141 )\\\triangle M = -0.00435 u$

$E = -0.00435 * 931.5\\E =-4.075 Mev$

E = 4.075 MeV ( Energy is released)

A student has a mass of 90 kg what would his weight be on mars if the acceleration due to gravity is 3.7 ?

Mumz [18]

Answer:

333N

Explanation:

Once we have the object's mass, we can find the weight by multiplying it by the gravitational force, which it is subject to. Being that Mars has a gravitational force of 3.7m/s2, we multiply the object's mass by this quantity to calculate an object's weight on mars.

So an object or person on Mars would weigh 37.83% its weight on earth. Therefore, a person would be much lighter on mars. Conversely, a person is 62.17% heavier on earth than on Mars.
