The nuclear reaction that powers the sun is the fusion of four protons into a helium nucleus. The process involves several steps, but the net reaction is simply 4p → 4He + energy. The mass of a helium nucleus is known to be 6.64 x 10-27 kg.a. How much energy is released in each fusion?b. What fraction of the initial rest mass energy is this energy?
Energy in the sun is produced by the fusion of four hydrogen atoms into a helium atom. The process involves several steps, but the net reaction is simply 41H → 4He + energy. Given this, you can say thatA. One helium atom has more mass than four hydrogen atoms.B. One helium atom has less mass than four hydrogen atoms.C. One helium atom has the same mass as four hydrogen atoms.
Find the kinetic energy of the objects in the scenarios. A. A cosmic pion of mass 140 MeV/?2 flies through outer space at a speed of 9.47×103 km/s . See the hint for help converting MeV/?2 to kg. ?= J B. A cheetah weighing 4.10×102 N chases a gazelle at a speed of 33.7 m/s . ?= J C.
