A proton (1H) and a deuteron (2H, "heavy hydrogen) start out far apart. An experimental apparatus shoots them toward each other

(with equal and opposite momenta). If they get close enough to make actual contact with each other, they can react to form a Helium-3 nucleus and a gamma ray (a high-energy photon, which has kinetic energy but zero rest energy):1H+2H \rightarrow 3He + \gammaThis is one of the thermonuclear or fusion reactions that takes place inside a star such as our sun.The mass of the proton is 1.0073 u (unified atomic mass unit, 1.7x10-27kg), the mass of the deunteron is 2.0136 u, the mass of the helium-3 nucleus is 3.0155 u, and the gamma ray is massless. Although in most problems you solve in this course it is adequate to use values of constants rounded to two or three significatn figures, in this problem you must keep at least six significant figures throughout your calculation. Problems involving mass changes require many significant figures becasue the changes in mass are small compared to the total mass. (a) The strong interaction has a very short range and is essentially a contact interaction. For this fusion reaction to take place, the proton and deuteron have to come close enough together to touch. The approximate radius of a proton or neutro is about 1x10-15m. What is the approximate initial total kinetic energy of the proton and deuteron required for the fusion reaction to proceed, in juoles and electron volts (1 e V = 1.6x10-19J)? (b) Given the initial conditions found in part (a), what is the kinetic energy of the 3He plus the energy of the gamma ray, in juoles and in electron volts? (c) The net energy released is the kinetic energy of the 3He plus the energy of the gamma ray found in part (b), minus the energy input that you calculated in part (a). What is the net energy release, in juoles and electron volts? Note that you do get back the energy investment made in part (a). (d) Kinetic energy can be used to drive motors and do other useful things. If a mole of hydrogen and a mole of deuterium underwent this fusion reaction, how much kinetic energy would be generated? (For comparison, around 1x106 J are obtained from burning a mole of gasoline). (e) Which of the following potential energy curves (1-4) in FIgure 6.87 is a reasonable representation of the interaction in this fusion reaction? Why?

The four tires of an automobile are inflated to a gauge pressure of 2.2 105 Pa. Each tire has an area of 0.023 m2 in contact wit
Stels [109]

Answer:

Force, F = 20240 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Pressure exerted by the four tires of an automobile, P=2.2\times 10^5\ Pa

Area of each tire, A=0.023\ m^2

Area of 4 tires,  A=0.092\ m^2

We know that the pressure exerted by an object is equal to the force per unit area. Its formula is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

F=P\times A

F=2.2\times 10^5\times 0.092

F = 20240 N

So, the weight of the automobile is 20240 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

4. A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground with a velocity of 30m/s. (a) how long will it take to rise to the highest
yarga [219]

All the answers are:

a) The time that will it take to rise to the highest point is 3.06 seconds.

b) The ball will rise to a height of 45.87 meters.

c) The time at which the ball will have a velocity of 10 m/s upward is 2.04 seconds.

The time when the ball has 10 m/s downward is 1.02 seconds.

d) The displacement of the ball will be zero at 6.12 seconds.

e) The time when the magnitude of the ball's velocity is equal to half its velocity of projection is 1.53 seconds.

f) The ball's displacement is equal to half the maximum height to which it rises after 0.90 seconds.

g) In each moment (upward and downward) the magnitude of the acceleration is the value of g (9.81 m/s²) and is a vector in the negative y-direction.

Let's calculate the values for each case.

a) At the highest point, the final velocity is 0, so we can use the following equation.  

v_{f}=v_{i}-gt (1)

Where:

  • v(i) is the initial velocity
  • v(f) is the final velocity
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

We know that v(i) = 30 m/s.

0=30-9.81t

Solve it for t:

t=3.06\: s

Hence, the time is 3.06 s.

b) At the highest point, the final velocity is 0, so we can use the following equation.  

v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2}-2gh (2)

0=v_{i}^{2}-2gh

We know that the initial velocity is 30 m/s.

0=30^{2}-2gh

Solving it for h we have:  

h=\frac{30^{2}}{2*9.81}

h=45.87 \: m

Then, the height is 45.87 m.

c) Using equation (1) we can find the time (t).

10=30-(9.81t)

So, the time elapsed to get 10 m/s is:

t_{upward}=2.04\: s

We know the upward time is equal to the downward time. So the time from v=10 m/s to v=0 m/s will be.

t_{upward}=2.04+t  

t=1.02\: s

This is the time when the ball has 10 m/s downward.          

Therefore, the time upward is 2.04 s, and the time downward is 1.02 s.

d) It will be when the ball returns to the ground.

t=2t_{upward}

t=2*3.06      

t=6.12\: s

The displacement will be zero after 6.12 s.  

e) Here we need to find the time when v(f) is 15 m/s

15=30-gt

t=\frac{15}{9.81}  

t=1.53\: s

The time when the v(f) is 15 m/s is 1.53 s.

f) Here, we need to find t when h = 45.87/2 m = 22.94 m

We can use the next equation:

[tex]h=v_{i}t-0.5gt^{2}/tex]

[tex]22.94=30t-0.5*9.81*t^{2}/tex]

Solving this quadratic equation, t will be:

[tex]t=0.90\: s/tex]

Hence, the ball's displacement is equal to half the maximum h, at 0.90 s.

g) In each moment the magnitude of the acceleration is the value of g (9.81 m/s²) and is a vector in the negative y-direction.
