In this problem, we will seek to better understand the thermodynamic conditions that are required for a fusion reaction. we will do so by estimating the temperature that would be required for 4he to fuse with 12c (a) given that nuclear radii are approximately (1.25 fm)a1/3, how far away must the two nuclei be (center to center) in order to fuse? (b) what is the coulomb energy at this separation distance? (c) in order for the average energy in the particles to equal half of this coulomb energy, what temperature is required?

Electric charge is uniformly distributed inside a nonconducting sphere of radius 0.30 m. the electric field at a point p, which is 0.50 m from the center of the sphere, is 15,000 n/c and is directed radially outward. what is the maximum magnitude of the electric field due to this sphere

The frequency of vibrations of a vibrating violin string is given by f = 1 2l t ρ where l is the length of the string, t is its tension, and ρ is its linear density.† (a) find the rate of change of the frequency with respect to the following. (i) the length (when t and ρ are constant) (ii) the tension (when l and ρ are constant) (iii) the linear density (when l and t are constant) (b) the pitch of a note (how high or low the note sounds) is determined by the frequency f. (the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.) use the signs of the derivatives in part (a) to determine what happens to the pitch of a note for the following. (i) when the effective length of a string is decreased by placing a finger on the string so a shorter portion of the string vibrates df dl 0 and l is ⇒ f is ⇒ (ii) when the tension is increased by turning a tuning peg df dt 0 and t is ⇒ f is ⇒ (iii) when the linear density is increased by switching to another string df dρ 0 and ρ is ⇒ f is ⇒
