Homework Assignment(Due March 31)
• Make up a test question• Multiple Choice• A-E possible answers• 1 point for handing it in• 1 point for me using it on test• The question needs to be on material that will be
on the 3rd exam• 15 people got extra HW credit for me using their
question (or inspiring a question)

I have
• Posted everybody’s exam, homework, PRS scores
• If there is a problem, you need to tell me now
• Goal is to get 20 credits with the Homework score (10% of grade) and 20 credits with the PRS score (10% of grade)
• Then you get perfect score for those parts of your grade

Why does the Sun shine?
• Nuclear fusion – the process in which two or more smaller nuclei slam together and make a larger nucleus
![Page 19: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Is the source of the Sun’s energy

Strong Force is the force that holds nuclei together
The nuclei are positively charged
Figure 15.6
![Page 21: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sun’s interior
• 15 million Kelvin
• This temperature is hot enough where nuclei can fuse together
• Strong Force occurs over short distances and allows protons in the nucleus to stay together
• Hydrogen fuses into helium
![Page 22: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Why is energy released when 4 Hydrogen atoms make one Helium atom?
• A) The mass of 4 Hydrogen atoms is greater than the mass of one Helium atom
• B) The gravity of a Helium atom is greater than the gravity of 4 Hydrogen atoms
• C) The gravity of a Helium atom is less than the gravity of 4 Hydrogen atoms
• D) Electrons are excited during the collision
• E) Neutrons are excited during the collision
![Page 24: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Calculation• 4 protons (Hydrogen atoms) has a mass of
6.690 x 10-27 kg• Helium nucleus has mass of 6.643 x 10-27 kg• This is 99.3% of the original mass• 0.7% of the mass is turned into energy• E = mc2
• The resulting energy is found as kinetic energy of the helium atom, released gamma rays, and released neutrinos

Definitions
• Positron – postitively charged electron (antimatter)
• Neutrino – almost massless particle
![Page 28: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
1st Homework question (March 24)(beginning of class)
• I want you to detail the hydrogen fusion reaction (Steps 1 through 3) with words (written by hand) and pictures
• What is the solar neutrino problem?
• How was the Homestake Gold Mine used to detect neutrinos?
![Page 29: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2nd HW question (due March 24th)(beginning of class)
• How much longer will it take the Sun to use up all its “fuel”?
• When the Sun uses up its fuel it will start expanding, which will be bad for people living on Earth
• I want an answer in years
• Show your work
![Page 30: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Things you need to know
• Energy source for sun is four hydrogen atoms combining to produce one helium atom
• about 0.7% of the original mass is turned into energy during this process
• 10% of the Sun’s mass is hot enough to undergo fusion
• Mass of the Sun = 2 x 1030 kg
![Page 31: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
And
• Total lifetime = (energy available)
(rate [energy/time] at which sun emits energy)
• rate [energy/time] at which the Sun emits energy is equal to 3.8 x 1026 Watts (Joules/second)
![Page 32: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
And
• Time left = Lifetime – current age
• Current age = ~5 billion years
![Page 33: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The 2 homework assignments will be due at the beginning of class
• Or they won’t be accepted
• Since I want to go over them next class period
• If you won’t be on class on Thursday or will be late, email it to me
![Page 34: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Sun is in gravitational equilibrium
• The weight of overlying material is balanced by the underlying pressure of hot gas
• This keeps the Sun’s diameter stable
![Page 35: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

How did the Sun form
• Began as a cloud of interstellar gas
• Began to collapse
• Raised the interior temperature higher and higher
![Page 37: What we will do today](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812e95550346895d94393d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What happened next
• The temperature and density of the center of the cloud increased until nuclear fusion could take place
• Energy generated from the interior then equaled the energy radiated away
