Of all the hydrogen in the oceans, 0.0156% (by mass) is deuterium. The Earth’s oceans have a volume of 1.332 billion cubic kilometers. Suppose all the oceans’ deuterium was fused into 4He

a.) How many Joules of energy would be released?

b.)At the current world consumption rate of 1.9 × 1013 W, how many years would the calculated energy last?

A satellite of mass m is launched from the Earth’s surface at v that is slightly less than the escape speed vesc. The ratio of the satellite launch speed v to the escape speed vesc is defined as f = v/vesc. The satellite is launched straight up. Before coming back down, the satellite momentarily comes to a stop at an altitude h above the surface of the Earth. (a) In terms of the satellite launch speed ratio f, Re, and...
