Two deuterium nuclei, 2 1H, fuse to produce a helium nucleus, 3 2He , and a neutron. A neutral deuterium atom has a mass of 2.01

4102 u; a neutral helium atom has a mass of 3.016030 u; a neutral hydrogen atom has a mass of 1.007825 u; a neutron has a mass of 1.008665 u; and a proton has a mass of 1.007277 u. How much energy is released in the process? 1 u = 931.494 MeV/c2.

Answer:

The energy released in the process is 3.27 MeV or 5.23 x 10⁻¹³ J

Explanation:

For the release of energy there must be a difference in energies of the reactants and products. The released energy will be equal to this difference in energies of reactants and products.

The difference in mass of reactant and product is:

Difference in mass = Δm = Mass of Reactant - Mass of Products

Δm = 2(Mass of Deuterium) - Mass of Helium - Mass of Neutron

Δm = 2(2.014102 u) - 3.016030 u - 1.008665 u

Δm = 4.028204 u - 3.016030 u - 1.008665 u

Δm = 0.003509 u

This difference in mass corresponds to the released energy. In order to convert this to energy, we use relation:

Released Energy = ΔE = Δm * 931.494 MeV/u

ΔE = (0.003509 u)(931.494 MeV/u)

<u>ΔE = 3.27 MeV</u>

Now, converting it to Joules:

ΔE = (3.27 x 10⁶ eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

<u>ΔE = 5.23 x 10⁻¹³ J</u>

Mary travelled 70 miles/hour due north. This is an example of what?
kolezko [41]
I believe this would be an example of Mary's velocity. We have her speed and direction which is all you need to find velocity.

A particle's trajectory is described by x = (0.5t^3-2t^2) meters and y = (0.5t^2-2t), where time is in seconds. What is the part
mestny [16]

Differentiate the components of position to get the corresponding components of velocity :

v_x = \dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt} = \left(1.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^3}\right) t^2 - \left(4\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t

v_y = \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt} = \left(1\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t-2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

At <em>t</em> = 5.0 s, the particle has velocity

v_x = \left(1.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^3}\right) (5.0\,\mathrm s)^2 - \left(4\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(5.0\,\mathrm s) = 17.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

v_y = \left(1\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(5.0\,\mathrm s)-2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} = 3.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

The speed at this time is the magnitude of the velocity :

\sqrt{{v_x}^2 + {v_y}^2} \approx \boxed{17.8\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

The direction of motion at this time is the angle \theta that the velocity vector makes with the positive <em>x</em>-axis, such that

\tan(\theta) = \dfrac{3.0\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}{17.5\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}} \implies \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{3.0}{17.5}\right) \approx \boxed{9.73^\circ}
