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?

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

Aplane flies a distance d from west to east at a constant speed vp , with respect to the air in a time twe . on the return trip, the plane flies a distance d from east to west at a constant speed vp , with respect to the air in a time tew . on both trips the wind blows from west to east at a constant speed va , with respect to the ground 1) what is tew in terms of vp, va, and d, as needed? tew=dvp tew=dvp+va tew=dva tew=dvpâ’va tew=12dvp tew=12dvp+va tew=12dvpâ’va your submissions: b submitted: saturday, january 26 at 6: 49 pm feedback: feedback will be given once all questions have been attempted and the grade cluster button has been pressed. 2) what is twe in terms of vp, va, and d, as needed? twe=dvp twe=dvp+va twe=dva twe=dvpâ’va twe=12dvp twe=12dvp+va twe=12dvpâ’va your submissions: d submitted: saturday, january 26 at 6: 49 pm feedback: feedback will be given once all questions have been attempted and the grade cluster button has been pressed. 3) assuming d = 2300 miles, vp = 400 miles/hr, and twe = 4 hours, what is va, the speed of the wind with respect to the ground? va = 100 miles/hr va = 575 miles/hr va = 200 miles/hr va = 175 miles/hr va = 975 miles/hr 4) once again, assuming d = 2300 miles, vp = 400 miles/hr, and twe = 4 hours, what is tew, the time it takes the plane to fly a distance d miles from east to west? tew = 5.75 hours tew = 11.5 hours tew = 7.67 hours tew = 8 hours tew = 10.2 hours
