Explain what nuclear fusion is in the role it plays in Stars. DO NOT LOOK UP ANSWERS​

Physics
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

An ion accelerated through a potential difference of 115 V experiences an increase in kinetic energy of 7.37 x 1017 J. Calculate
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: 6.408(10)^{-19} C

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the following equation:

\Delta K=q V

Where:

\Delta K=7.37(10)^{-17} J is the change in kinetic energy

V=115 V is the electric potential difference

q is the electric charge

Finding q:

q=\frac{\Delta K}{V}

q=\frac{7.37(10)^{-17} J}{115 V}

Finally:

q=6.408(10)^{-19} C

A proton, starting from rest, accelerates through a potential difference of 1.0 kV and then moves into a magnetic field of 0.040
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

r = 0.11 m

Explanation:

The radius of the proton's resulting orbit can be calculated equaling the force centripetal (Fc) with the Lorentz force (F_{B}), as follows:

F_{c} = F_{B} \rightarrow \frac{m*v^{2}}{r} = qvB (1)

<u>Where:</u>

<em>m: is the proton's mass =  1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg</em>

<em>v: is the proton's velocity</em>

<em>r: is the radius of the proton's orbit</em>

<em>q: is the proton charge = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C</em>

<em>B: is the magnetic field = 0.040 T </em>

Solving equation (1) for r, we have:

r = \frac{mv}{qB}   (2)

By conservation of energy, we can find the velocity of the proton:

K = U \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = q*\Delta V   (3)

<u>Where:</u>

<em>K: is kinetic energy</em>

<em>U: is electrostatic potential energy</em>

<em>ΔV: is the potential difference = 1.0 kV </em>

Solving equation (3) for v, we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2q\Dela V}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*1.0 \cdot 10^{3} V}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}} = 4.38 \cdot 10^{5} m/s  

Now, by introducing v into equation (2), we can find the radius of the proton's resulting orbit:

r = \frac{mv}{qB} = \frac{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*4.38 \cdot 10^{5} m/s}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*0.040 T} = 0.11 m

Therefore, the radius of the proton's resulting orbit is 0.11 m.

I hope it helps you!

How do you think electricity was discovered
sasho [114]
Italian physicist Alessandro Volta discovered that particular chemical reactions could produce electricity, and in 1800 he constructed the voltaic pile (an early electric battery) that produced a steady electric current, and so he was the first person to create a steady flow of electrical charge.
