Why must the gas in a fusion experiment be heated to millions of kelvin?
Cold nuclei have no mass
The nuclei repel one another and must move fast to come close enough to fuse
Heat changes the nuclei into neutrons
Fusion releases no energy below a million kelvin

← Which material is used for the control rods of a nuclear reactor?
A reaction between a projectile of mass number 2 and a target nucleus of mass number 14 at rest has Q = -3.4 MeV. Take the mass numbers as the masses. What is the least kinetic energy of the projectile that can make the reaction happen? →
