Considering the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction with the tritium nucleus at rest: ¹₂H + ¹₃H → ²₄He + ⁰₁n the electric potential energy (in electron volts) at this distance is 17.58MeV
<h3>How is the electric potential energy of deuterium-tritium fusion reaction calculated?</h3>
The reaction is ¹₂H + 1₃H → ²₄He + ⁰₁n
Value of Q = (Mass of ¹₂H + Mass of ¹₃H - Mass of ²₄He- Mass of n) x 931 MeV
Mass of ¹₂H = 2.014102
Mass of ¹₃H = 3.016049
Mass of ²₄He = 4.002603
Mass of n = 1.00867
Therefore Value of Q = [2.014102+3.016049−4.002603−1.00867] × 931 MeV
Therefore Value of Q = 0.01887 × 931 MeV
= 17.58MeV

Answer:
C. 28.09 amu
Explanation:
The natural occurring element exist in 3 isotopic forms: namely X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance), X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abundance) and X-30 (29.974 amu, 3.10% abundance).
The atomic weight of elements depends on the isotopic abundance. If you know the fractional abundance and the mass of the isotopes the atomic weight can be computed.
The atomic weight is computed as follows:
atomic weight = mass of X-28 × fractional abundance + mass of X-29 × fractional abundance + mass of X-30 × fractional abundance
atomic weight = 27.977 × 0.9223 + 28.976 × 0.0467 + 29.974 × 0.0310
atomic weight = 25.8031871 + 1.3531792 + 0.929194
atomic weight = 28.0855603 amu
To 2 decimal place atomic weight = 28.09 amu
Answer:
Work done on an object is equal to
FDcos(angle).
So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.
However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.
But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?
Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.
