Answer:

a)= 0.025602u

b) = 23.848MeV

c) N = 1.546 × 10¹³

Explanation:

The reaction is

²₁H + ²₁H ⇄ ⁴₂H + Q

a) The mass difference is

Δm = 2m(²₁H) - m (⁴₂H)

= 2(2.014102u) - 4.002602u

= 0.025602u

b) Use the Einstein mass energy relation ship

The enegy release is the mass difference times 931.5MeV/U

E = (0.025602) (931.5)

= 23.848MeV

the number of reaction need per seconds is

N = Q/E

= 59W/ 23.848MeV

$= \frac{59}{(23.848 \times 10^6 )(1.6 \times 10^1^9) } \\\\= 1.546 \times 10^1^3$

N = 1.546 × 10¹³

If the value of the electric field in an electromagnetic wave were doubled then

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Electromagnetic wave are waves formed as a result of the oscillatory activities involving the electric and the magnetic field.

However in an Electromagnetic wave, the electric field and magnetic field carry equal amounts of energy and the magnitude of the electric field is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field. This direct proportionality gives rise to the speed of light being the constant between the two fields.

When the electric field is doubled then an equal action is to be set for the magnetic field so it doesn’t deviate from its main functions and characteristics.

A steady beam of alpha particles (q = + 2e, mass m = 6.68 × 10-27 kg) traveling with constant kinetic energy 22 MeV carries a cu

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

q = 2e = 3.2 x 10^-19 C

mass, m = 6.68 x 10^-27 kg

Kinetic energy, K = 22 MeV

Current, i = 0.27 micro Ampere = 0.27 x 10^-6 A

(a) time, t = 2.8 s

Let N be the alpha particles strike the surface.

N x 2e = q

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = i t

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 0.27 x 10^-6 x 2.8

N = 2.36 x 10^12

(b) Length, L = 16 cm = 0.16 m

Let N be the alpha particles

K = 0.5 x mv²

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 0.5 x 6.68 x 10^-27 x v²

v² = 1.054 x 10^15

v = 3.25 x 10^7 m/s

So, N x 2e = i x t

N x 2e = i x L / v

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 2.7 x 10^-7 x 0.16 / (3.25 x 10^7)

N = 4153.85

Kinetic energy = Potential energy

K = q x V

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 2 x 1.5 x 10^-19 x V

V = 1.17 x 10^7 V

An air-gap, parallel plate capacitor with area A and gap width d is connected to a battery that maintains the plates at potentia

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The new potential energy decreases by the factor of 2 to the old potential energy.

Explanation:

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the relation :

C = (ε₀A)/d

Here ε₀ is vacuum permittivity, A is area of the capacitor plate and d is the distance between them.

Potential energy of the capacitor, U = $\frac{1}{2}CV^{2}$

Here V is the potential difference between the plates.

According to the problem, the distance between the plates get double but area remains same. So,

d₁ = 2d

Here d₁ is new distance between the plates.

Hence, new capacitance is :

C₁ = (ε₀A)/d₁ = (ε₀A)/2d = C/2

The capacitor have same potential difference that is V. Hence, the new potential energy is :

U₁ = $\frac{1}{2}C_{1} V^{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2}\frac{C}{2} V^{2}$

U₁ = U/2

$\frac{U_{1} }{U} = \frac{1}{2}$
