In: Physics
A stationary nucleus of charge Q, radius R of mass M is divided
into two daughter nuclei of
the same size and charge, which repel each other to innite distance
apart after the fission.
Assume the charge density p remains the same before and after the
nuclear fission. (i)How
much kinetic energy is generated.(ii)What will be the mass of
daughter nuclei ?
(b)How much energy would be generated from the nuclear fission of
one mole of a nuclei with
Z = 92, R = 1:0fm(Assume the nuclear fission takes place as
described in part (a)).
Here we apply concept of energy conservation and definition of electric potential energy.
