If two deuterium nuclei (charge +e, mass 3.34×10−27kg) get close enough together, the attraction of the strong nuclear force will fuse them to make an isotope of helium, releasing vast amounts of energy. The range of this force is about 10−15. This is the principle behind the fusion reactor. The deuterium nuclei are moving much too fast to be contained by physical walls, so they are confined magnetically. (a) How fast would two nuclei have to move so that in a head-on collision they would get close enough to fuse? (Assume their speeds are equal. Treat the nuclei as point charges, and assume that a separation of 1.0×10−15 is required for fusion.) (b) What strength magnetic field is needed to make deuterium nuclei with this speed travel in a circle of diameter 2.50 m?

Imagine you had to physically add electrons, one at a time, to a previously neutral conductor. you add one electron very easily, but the second electron requires more work. in your initial post to the discussion, explain why this is. also, what happens to the work needed to add the third, fourth, fifth, and subsequent electrons

First answer marked as brainiest which is the correct equation describing the first law of thermodynamics? a) when the internal energy of a system changes, it equals the amount of heat added plus the work done. b) when work is done by the piston, it is equal to the heat added plus the change in internal energy of the system. c) when heat is added to the system, it is equal to the amount of work done by the piston plus the change in internal energy of the system.

Aspring has a relaxed length of 33 cm (0.33 m) and its spring stiffness is 6 n/m. you glue a 76 gram block (0.076 kg) to the top of the spring, and push the block down, compressing the spring so its total length is 15 cm. you make sure the block is at rest, then at time t=0 you quickly move your hand away. the block begins to move upward, because the upward force on the block by the spring is greater than the downward force on the block by the earth. calculate y vs. time for the block during a 0.09-second interval after you release the block, by applying the momentum principle in three steps each of 0.03-second duration.
