Chapter , Problem 49(choose chapter or problem)
In the later stages of stellar evolution, a star (if massiveenough) w ill begin fusing carbon nuclei to form, forexample, magnesium:126c + 2g4M- g + 7.(a) How much energy is released in this reaction (seeAppendix F)? (b) How much kinetic energy must eachcarbon nucleus have (assume equal) in a head-on collision ifthey are just to touch (use Eq. 41-1) so that the strongforce can come into play? (c) What temperature does thiskinetic energy correspond to?
