    How Is Deuteron Kinetic Energy Related to Plasma Temperature in Nuclear Fusion?

    Homework Statement A deuteron, , is the nucleus of a hydrogen isotope and consists of one proton and one neutron. The plasma of deuterons in a nuclear fusion reactor must be heated to about 3.01×108 . What is the rms speed of the deuterons? What would the temperature of the plasma be if the...

    Can You Derive Equations Using UAM Principles?

    The equations I know are Vx = Vox + Axt X = Xo + Voxt + 1/2axt^2 X-Xo = [(Vox + Vx)/2]t Vx^2 = Vox^2 +2ax(X-Xo) I am just confused as to where to start. I derived the other one he asked us about this one has me stuck.
