A chain of nuclear reactions in the Suns core converts four protons into a helium nucleus. (a) What is the mass difference between four protons and a helium nucleus? (b) How much energy in MeV is released during the conversion of four protons into a helium nucleus?
Our solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Assuming a circular orbit 30,000 ly in radius and an orbital speed of 250 km/s, how many years does it take for one revolution? Note than this is approximate, assuming constant speed and circular orbit, but it is representative of the time for our system and local stars to make one revolution around the galaxy.
When a stat erupts in a supernova explosion, huge numbers of electron neutrinos are formed in nuclear reactions. Such neutrinos from the 1987A supernova in the relatively nearby Magellanic Cloud were observed within hours of the initial brightening, indicating they traveled to earth at approximately the speed of light. Explain how this date can be used to set an upper limit on the mass of the neutrino, noting that the mass is small the neutrinos could travel very close to the speed at light and have a reasonable energy (on the order of MeV).
The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, at the Trinity test site about 200 mi south of Los Alamos. In 1947, the U.S. government declassified a film reel of the explosion. From this film reel, British physicist G.I. Taylor was able to determine the rate at which the radius of the fireball from the blast grew. Using dimensional analysis, he was then able to deduce the amount of energy released in the explosion, which was a closely guarded secret at the time. Because of this, Taylor did not publish his results until 1950. This problem challenges you to recreate this famous calculation. (a) Using keen physical insight developed from years of experience, Taylor decided the radius rof the fireball should depend only on time since the explosion, t, the density of the air, , and the energy of the initial explosion, E. Thus, he made the educated guess that r=kEabtcfor some dimensionless constant kand some unknown exponents a,b, and c. Given that [E]=ML2T-2 , determine the values of the exponents necessary to make this equation dimensionally consistent. (Hint: Notice the equation implies that k=rEabtcand that [k]=1 ). (b) By analyzing data from high-energy conventional explosives, Taylor found the formula he derived seemed to be valid as long as the constant khad the value 1.03. From the film reel, he was able to determine many values of rand the corresponding values of t. For example, he found that after 25.0 ms, the fireball had a radius of 130.0 m. Use these values, along with an average air density of 1.25kg/m3 , to calculate the initial energy release of the Trinity detonation in joules (J). (Hint: To get energy in joules, you need to make sure all the numbers you substitute in are expressed in terms of SI base units.) (c) The energy released in large explosions is often cited in units of “tons of TNT” (abbreviated “t TNT”), where 1 t TNT is about 4.2 GJ. Convert yow answer to (b) into kilotons of TNT (that is, kt TNT). Compare your answer with the quick-and-duty estimate of 10 kt TNT made by physicist Enrico Fermi shortly after witnessing the explosion from what was thought to be a safe distance. (Reportedly, Fermi made his estimate by dropping some shredded bits of paper right before the remnants of the shock wave hit him and looked to see how far they were carried by it.)

As of August 27, 2020, the Philippines, through the Department of Finance has already borrowed $ 8.83 billion to fight against the health and socioeconomic crises inflicted by the COVD19 pandemic. (a) If payments were made at the rate of $1000 per second, how many many years would it take to pay off the debt, assuming no interest was charged? A one-dollar bill is about 15.5 cm long. If $8.83 billion one-dollar were laid end to end around the Earth's equator, how many times would they encircle the planet? Take the radium of the Earth at the equator to be 6378 km.
