15.21) a. 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 3.09×108 K . What is the rms speed of the deuterons?
b. Is this a significant fraction of the speed of light ( c = 3.0×108m/s )?
c. What would the temperature of the plasma be if the deuterons had an rms speed equal to 7.0×10−2c?
Express your answer using two significant figures.

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)
need help with 2!!
I attatched the given informarion. please let me know what
values you are using!
2. Consider the beta decay of tritium (eq 2). He + je (2) As you did in Question 1 for the neutron decay of H-2, determine the following for the beta decay of H-3: (a) the rest mass of the reactant (in kg, with six significant figures); (b) the sum of rest masses of the products (in kg, with six significant figures);...
thank u so much!
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...
