Get started for freeConsider equal numbers of deuterium and tritium nuclei fusing to form helium-4 nuclei, as given in equation,
(a) What is the yield in joules of kinetic energy liberated per kilogram of fuel?
(b) How does this compare with a typical yield of for chemical fuels?
Oxygen-19decays. What is the daughter nucleus, and what may be said of the kinetic energy of the emitted particle?
Determine the approximate ratio of the diameter of a uranium nucleus to that of beryllium nucleus
a) For a nucleus of , estimate very roughly how many nucleons would be at the surface.
b) If the binding energy of an interior nucleon due to the internucleon attraction were and if all nucleon were are tightly bound, the total binding energy would be . Taking into account the different binding of surface nucleons, roughly what would be the total binding energy?
For the carbon cycle to become established, helium-4 nuclei must fuse to form beryllium-8. Calculate Q for this reaction.
