This is a multiple choice with 5 parts so all parts need to be answered. They are not separate questions so this is not against guidelines. Please just give me the number of the questions and the letter of the answer, no need to do too much work. Thank you!!!
Answer the attach question.
I am specifically having difficulty in solving part d of this problem.
a) Calculate the number of grams of deuterium in a 54,300 L swimming pool, given deuterium is 0.0150% of natural hydrogen.
(b)
Find the energy released in joules if this deuterium is fused via the reaction 2H + 2H → 3He + n.
(c)
Could the neutrons be used to release more energy?
(d)
Discuss the amount of this type of energy in a swimming pool as compared to that in, say, a gallon of gasoline, also taking into consideration that water is far more abundant. (Enter the ratio of the energy in the deuterium in the pool to the energy in a gallon of gasoline. The energy in a gallon of gasoline is 1.2 ✕ 108 J.)

- All final answer must be up to the 3rd decimal places with the appropriate units. (a) Viewers of Star Trek hear of an antimatter drive on the Starship Enterprise. One possibility for such a futuristic energy source is to store antimatter charged particles in a vacuum chamber, circulating in a magnetic field, and then extract them as needed. Antimatter annihilates with normal matter, producing pure energy. What strength magnetic field is needed to hold antiprotons, moving at 5.00 ×107 m/s in a circular path 2.00 m in radius? Antiprotons have the same mass as protons but the opposite (negative) charge. (b) Is this field strength obtainable with today’s technology or is it a futuristic possibility?arrow_forwardIntegrated ConceptsSuppose you are designing a proton decay experiment and you can detect 50 percent of the proton decays in a tank of water. How many kilograms of water would you need to see one decay per month, assuming a lifetime of 1031 y ?arrow_forwardMore than 60 years ago, future Nobel laureate Sheldon Glashow predicted that if an antineutrino — the antimatter answer to the nearly massless neutrino — collided with an electron, it could produce a cascade of other particles. The "Glashow resonance (Links to an external site.)" phenomenon is hard to detect, in large part because the antineutrino needs about 1,000 times more energy than what's produced in the most powerful colliders on Earth. Let's compare this event to an ordinary baseball with a mass of 146 g. Please use three significant figures in your calculations. 1. Now consider a baseball with the same kinetic energy as that of the Glashow resonance. What speed in m/s would correspond to this energy? 2.arrow_forward

According to Wikipedia, the Tsar Bomba (Links to an external site.) was the most powerful thermonuclear weapon ever exploded, at 50 megatons of TNT. (For comparison, the explosive energy of WWII nuclear bombs was about 20 kilotons.) Suppose one kg of antimatter came into contact with matter. How would the explosive energy compare with the explosive energy of the Tsar Bomba? (c = 3 * 108 m/s) Group of answer choices 1.There is no way to compare the two. 2.The kg of antimatter would produce at least a hundred times more energy. 3.The Tsar Bomba produced at least a hundred times more energy than the kg of antimatter. 4. They would be approximately the same.arrow_forwardA long-baseline neutrino diss-appearance experiment wants to measure neutrino oscillations with an expected squared mass difference of approximately Am² = 2.5x10-³ eV2.

There are also antiup u (charge - 2/3 e) and antidown d (charge + 1/3 e) quarks. The combination of a quark and an antiquark is called a meson. The mesons known as pions have the composition π+ = ud- and π- = u-d. Suppose a proton collides with an antineutron.
