A neutron in a star makes an elastic head-on collision with a carb on nucleus initially at rest. The mass of the carbon nucleus is 12 times the mass of the neutron mn = 1.7 ×10^−27kg. The initial kinetic energy of the neutron is 1.6 × 10^−13J.
a) Show that the final speed of the carbon nucleus, Vc, is given by (see image)
where vn is the initial speed of the neutron.
The liquid drop model may be used to determine the nuclear binding energy for an isotope. This model uses the semiempirical binding energy formula, which takes into consideration four major effects (one term per effect) that contribute to the nuclear binding energy. The semiempirical binding energy formula may be expressed as:
Z(Z - 1)
C3
A1/3
(N – z)2
E, = C;A – C,A?/3
A
The first term is the volume term, the second is the surface term, the third is the Coulomb term, and the fourth is the symmetry term. For nuclei having A 2 15, the constants have the following values:
= 15.7 MeV, C, = 17.8 MeV, C3
= 0.71 MeV, and C.
= 23.6 MeV

(b) Determine the percentage contribution to the binding energy by each of the four terms. (You should expect positive and negative values, but the sum should be 100%. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate…
One of the major observations of the nuclear line of stability is that heavy nuclei (Z > 16) that are stable have more neutrons than protons; this is in contrast to light nuclei where the proton and neutron number are the same. Explain why this is the case.

- Another series of nuclear reactions that can produce energy in the interior of stars is the carbon cycle first proposed by Hans Bethe in 1939, leading to his Nobel Prize in Physics in 1967. This cycle is most efficient when the central temperature in a star is above 1.6 x 10^7 K. Because the temperature at the center of the Sun is only 1.5 x 10^7 K, the following cycle produces less than 10% of the Sun’s energy. (a) A high-energy proton is absorbed by 12C. Another nucleus, A, is produced in the reaction, along with a gamma ray. Identify nucleus A. (b) Nucleus A decays through positron emission to form nucleus B. Identify nucleus B.

Identify nucleus…arrow_forwardRadioactivity is a natural process where a nucleus is broken into several parts. During that process, some energy is released into the surrounding environment. A nuclear reactor will use that energy to power a turbine which will create either electricity or a torque. The classic view is that one neutron will hit an unstable nucleus, which will break into two stable parts and will also emit at the same time a few more neutrons. In nuclear reactors, the usual fuel is the uranium 235, which can undergo a fission reaction. However, most of the uranium you can find by mining it is the uranium 238, which is not fissile. It can absorb one neutron and then can form, by nuclear reactions, the plutonium 239. Another reaction that the uranium 235 can undergo is the alpha decay, producing the thorium 231. This reaction is spontaneous.
