An important fusion reaction in both hydrogen bombs and controlled-fusion reactors is the "dt reaction," in which a deuteron and a triton (nuclei of heavy hydrogen isotopes) combine to form an alpha particle and a neutron with the release of much energy. use momentum conservation to explain why the neutron resulting from this reaction receives about 80% of the energy, while the alpha particle gets only about 20%.

Aprojectile is launched horizontally 10m above the ground and with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. a) determine the magnitude and direction of projectile velocity at t= 1.3s b) determine the magnitude and direction of projectile acceleration at t=1.3s

The summit of chimborazo, in ecuador, which is at a distance of about 6,384 km from the earth's center. the bottom of the mariana trench, in the western pacific ocean, which is nearly 6,370 km from the center of the earth. on the surface of earth on the equator line.

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.
