A deuteron, 21H, is the nucleus of a hydrogen isotope and consists of one proton and one neutron. The plasma of deuterons in a nuclear fusion reactor must be heated to about 3.10×108 K .
A) What is the rms speed of the deuterons?
B) Is this a significant fraction of the speed of light ( c = 3.0×108m/s )? Find the percentage! (Vrms/C)
Homework Answers
A) vrms = sqrt(3RT/M)
where R = universal gas constant
T = temperature in kelvin
M = molecular mass = 2 g for deutron
V = sqrt(3*8.314*3.1*10^8 / 2*10^-3)
= 1.96*10^6 m/s
B) 1.96*10^6 / 3*10^8 = 0.0065
= 0.655 % of the speed of light
so this is not a significant fraction

A deuteron (the nucleus of an isotope of hydrogen) has a mass of 3.34×10−27 kg and a charge of 1.60×10−19 C . The deuteron travels in a circular path with a radius of 7.10 mm in a magnetic field with a magnitude of 2.30 T . Find the speed of the deuteron. Find the time required for it to make 1/2 of a revolution.

6. One form of nuclear radiation, beta decay, occurs when a neutron changes into a proton, an electron, and a neutral particle called an antineutrino: n → pt + e + De, where ve is the symbol for an antineutrino. When this change happens to a neutron within the nucleus of an atom, the proton remains behind in the nucleus while the electron and neutrino are ejected from the nucleus. The ejected electron is called a...

An alpha particle is a nucleus of Helium. It has twice the charge and four times the mass of the proton (mp = 1.67 � 10-27 kg, c = 1.60 � 10-19 C). A proton and an alpha particle headed directly toward each other, had each initial speed of 0.0030c when they were far away. Here, as is customary when describing processes involving nuclear targets, the speed is expressed as a fraction of the speed of light, c = 3.0...
