Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

A Neptunium-237 nucleus, initially at rest, decays by emitting an alpha particle. The resulting nucleus is Protactinium-233 and travels to the right with a speed of 1,398 m/s. What is the speed of the alpha particle? The masses of each can be kept in atomic mass units. No need to convert to kilograms. The masses of the Neptunium, Protactinium, and alpha particle are 237, 233, and 4 respectively. Np 237 u v=? Pa 233 u 4 u Give speed, not velocity.
Pd Pd 1. Let's consider a toy model of nuclear fission. Suppose an nucleus of Uranium-235 (92 protons, molar weight of 235 g/mole) "splits" into two "daughter" nuclei of Palladium (46 protons each) – this is not how it really happens, but it's a very simple model that actually gives fairly accurate results. The radius of the original U-235 nucleus is about 7.4 x 10-15 m. (a) If the Pd nuclei each have half the volume of the U nucleus, which is reasonable, and they are "touching" right after the split, how far apart are their centers? (b) Using conservation of energy, what will be the sum of the kinetic energies of the Pd nuclei when they are far apart from each other? (c) That's energy of one atom undergoing fission, so what, then, is the energy released by the fission of 1 kg of U-235? Express this in Joules and also in kilotons of TNT, where 1 kt = 4.2x1012 J.

A 212^Bi (bismuth) nucleus undergoes alpha decay, resulting in a 208^Tl (thallium) nucleus and a 4He (helium) nucleus as per the following reaction: 212^Bi →208^Tl + 4^He The masses of each nucleus is listed in the table below. Given that the bismuth atom was at rest before the reaction, if the resulting thallium nucleus is traveling 3.3 × 105 m/s, how fast is the helium nucleus traveling?
What is the ratio of the strength of the strong nuclear force to that of the electromagnetic force? Based on this ratio, you might expect that the strong force dominates the nucleus, which is true for small nuclei. Large nuclei, however, have sizes greater than the range of the strong nuclear force. At these sizes, the electromagnetic force begins to affect nuclear stability. These facts will be used to explain nuclear fusion and fission later in this text.

When a massive star reaches the end of its life, it is possible for a supernova to occur. This may result in the formation of a very kg small, but very dense, neutron star, the density of which is about the same as a neutron.
