- Find question in Image.Naturally occurring 40K is listed as responsible for 24 mrem/y of background radiation. Calculate the mass of 40K in grams that must be inside the 45 kg body of a woman to produce this dose. Each 40K decay emits a 1.32 MeV β, and 42% of the energy is absorbed inside the body.Consider the α particle. What is the radius of an α particle in femtometers? Assume that the α particle is well-described by a collection of nucleons packed in a sphere.
- 58Ni is one of the most tightly bound stable nuclei. 258Ha is one of the largest nuclei ever made. Assume both of these nuclei can be modeled as tightly-packed spheres of their nucleons. Part (a) What is the radius of 58Ni in femtometers? Part (b) What is the ratio of the radius of 58Ni to that of 258Ha? Note that the radius of the larger nucleus is still much smaller than the size of an atom.(a) Show that about 1.0 × 1010 J would be released by the fusion of the deuterons in 1.0 gal of water. Note that 1 of every 6 500 hydrogen atoms is a deuteron. (b) The average energy consumption rate of a person living in the United States is about 1.0 × 104 J/s (an average power of 10 kW). At this rate, how long would the energy needs of one person be supplied by the fusion of the deuterons in 1.0 gal of water? Assume the energy released per deuteron is 1.64 MeVWhat two quantities are always conserved in all nuclear equations?
