Answer:

Fusion

Explanation:

Fusion is what powers the sun. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

Practice entering numbers that include a power of 10 by entering the diameter of a hydrogen atom in its ground state, dH = 1.06

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

$1.06085\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

m = Mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

e = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

n = 1 (ground state)

Angular momentum is given by

$L=mvr$

From Bohr's atomic model we have

$L=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi}$

$mvr=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi mr}$

The centripetal force will balance the electrostatic force

$\dfrac{ke^2}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{ke^2}{r}=mv^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{ke^2}{r}=m(\dfrac{nh}{2\pi mr})^2\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{n^2h^2}{4\pi^2mke^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{1^2\times (6.626\times 10^{-34})^2}{4\pi^2 \times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 8.99\times 10^{9}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}\\\Rightarrow r=5.30426\times 10^{-11}\ m$

The diameter is $2\times 5.30426\times 10^{-11}=1.06085\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Aleks04 [339]

A futuristic design for a car is to have a large solid disk-shaped flywheel within the car storing kinetic energy. The uniform flywheel has mass 370 kg with a radius of 0.500 m and can rotate up to 320 rev/s. Assuming all of this stored kinetic energy could be transferred to the linear velocity of the 3500-kg car, find the maximum attainable speed of the car.
