You leave your love to find a new home for humanity by taking a rocket to explore
Question:
You leave your love to find a new home for humanity by taking a rocket to explore the universe. The rocket uses solar and nuclear fission energy sources. You are both 30 years old when you depart. You return 80 years younger than your love at 41 years old. The nuclear fuel has 92 protons and 143 neutrons with a mass of 4.3857876E-25kg, which is hit by one neutron to cause a fission to occur. The solar panel has a work function of 821.428571428571eV.
1. What would the wavelength of the ejected electron be if treated non-relativistically?
2. In each fission reaction the sum of the masses of all the particles after the reaction is equal to the sum of all the particles used to cause the reaction. What is the energy released in each individual fission reaction?
