Express your answer using two significant figures 0.65 % Submit My Answers Give Up Correct Part C What would the temperature of the plasma be if the deuterons had an rms speed equal to 9.0x10-2 c Express your answer using two significant figures T 8.8 100 Submit My Answers Give Up Incorrect; Try Again; 12 attempts remaining

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

rms speed of the deutron = sqrt(3* k * T/m)

let the tempertaure is T

9 *10^-2 * 3 *10^8 = sqrt(3 * 1.38 *10^-23 * T/(2.014 * 1.67 *10^-27))

solving for T

T = 5.92 *10^10 K

the temperature is 5.92 *10^10 K
