Protons and neutrons (together called nucleons) are heldtogether in the nucleus of an atom by a force called thestrong force. At very small separations, the strong forcebetween two nucleons is larger than the repulsive electricalforce between two protons-hence its name. But the strongforce quickly weakens as the distance between the protonsincreases. A well-established model for the potential energyof two nucleons interacting via the strong force isU = U₁[1 - e */*o]where is the distance between the centers of the twonucleons, xo is a constant having the valueXo = 2.0 × 10-15 m, and U₁ = 6.0 × 10-¹¹ J.Quantum effects are essential for a proper understanding ofnucleons, but let us innocently consider two neutrons as ifthey were small, hard, electrically neutral spheres of mass1.67 x 10-27 kg and diameter 1.0 × 10-15 m. Supposeyou hold two neutrons 9.0 × 10-15 m apart, measuredbetween their centers, then release them.What is the speed of each neutron as they crash together?

The efficiency of a nuclear power plant is 36.1.0 %. If 280.16.0 kW of power are produced by the nuclear fission, what is the electric power output of the plant? Please give your answer in kilowatts with one decimal place.
The energy yield of a nuclear weapon is often defined in terms of the equivalent mass of a conventional explosive. 1 ton of a conventional explosive releases 4.2 GJ. A typical nuclear warhead releases 250,000 times more, so the yield is expressed as 250 kilotons. That is a staggering explosion, but the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs was significantly greater. Assume that the asteroid was a sphere 10 km in diameter, with a density of 2500 kg/m3 and moving at 30 km/s. What energy was released at impact, in joules and in kilotons?
