Protons enter a region of electric field where the potential difference between where the protons enter and exit is +5×106 volts (5 MV). Assuming the initial energy of the protons was negligible, how much energy does the proton gain? What if we had a fully ionized carbon-12 nucleus instead?
There are three naturally occurring stable isotopes of magnesium: 24MB, 25MG, and 26MB, which have relative abundances on Earth of 79%, 10%, and 11% respectively. Note that the atomic number of magnesium is 12. a) ) A magnesium-24 nucleus can be considered as nucleons uniformly distributed in a spherical volume. Calculate the energy required to construct a uniformly charged sphere, using the following 2Q2 20πεο R equation: U where Q is the total charge and R is the radius. ii) Calculate the binding energy (in eV) of magnesium-24, which has an atomic mass of 23.9850 AMU. The mass of a neutron is 1.0087 amu and the mass of a proton is 1.0073 amu. Using your results from parts (i) and (ii) discuss how the nucleus is held together. b) The radioisotope of magnesium with the longest half-life is magnesium-28, with a half-life of 20.9 hrs.

MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER Ionizing radiation enters a Geiger tube with 1.30 MeV of energy. As the radiation passes through the tube, all of this energy goes into creating ion pairs and each ion pair requires 30 eV of energy. (a) If an applied voltage sweeps these ions out of the gas in 1.20 us, determine the current (in A). A (b) Since the applied voltage in the Geiger tube accelerates these separated ions, creating other ion pairs in subsequent collisions, the actual current is greater than that determined in part (a). If this effect multiplies the number of ion pairs by 880, determine the actual current (in A). А Additional Materials O Reading

The probability of fusion occurring is greatly enhanced when appropriate nuclei are brought close together, but mutual Coulomb repulsion must be overcome. This can be done using the kinetic energy of high- temperature gas ions or by accelerating the nuclei toward one another.

A solid copper sphere whose radius is 1.0 cm has a verythin surface coating of nickel. Some of the nickel atoms areradioactive, each atom emitting an electron as it decays. Halfof these electrons enter the copper sphere, each depositing 100 keVof energy there.The other half of the electrons escape, each carryingaway a charge e.The nickel coating has an activity of 3.70 *10^8 radioactivedecays per second.
