Suppose that an electron and a positron collide head-on. Both have kinetic energy of 1.20 MeV and rest energy of 0.511 MeV. They produce two photons, which by conservation of momentum must have equal energy and move in opposite directions. What is the energy Ephoton of one of these photons

Answers

Answer:

E = 1.711 MeV

Explanation:

From the law of the conservation of energy:

[tex]K.E_{e}+K.E_p + E_{e}+E_{p} = 2 E[/tex]

where,

[tex]K.E_e=K.Ep=[/tex] the kinetic energy of positron and electron = 1.2 MeV

[tex]E_e=E_p =[/tex] Rest energy of the electron and the positron = 0.511 MeV

E = Energy of Photon = ?

Therefore,

[tex]1.2\ MeV + 1.2\ MeV + 0.511\ MeV + 0.511\ MeV = 2E\\\\E = \frac{3.422\ MeV}{2}\\\\[/tex]

E = 1.711 MeV


Gold-198 is a radioactive isotope, and it has a half-life of about 2.5 days.
You have 100 grams of Gold-198. How many grams remain after 20 days?

3.125 grams
1.5625 grams
0.78125 grams
0.390625 grams

Answers

Answer: 0.390625 grams

Explanation:

A half-life of an element is the amount of time that it takes for half the mass of the element to decay.

Gold-198 having a half-life of 2.5 days therefore means that every 2.5 days, the mass is cut in half.

If there are 20 days, find out how many half-life periods there are:

= 20 / 2.5

= 8 periods

The half life is:

= Original mass * 0.5^number of half-life periods

= 100 * 0.5⁸

= 0.390625 grams

A small resistor is connected to a 12 V battery. A second resistor of REALLY high resistance is added to the series circuit. How does this affect the current?

A) Nothing changes.

B) The current of the entire circuit is lowered.

C) The current through the large resistor is lowered.

D) The current through the small resistor is lowered.

Answers

Answer:

B) The current of the entire circuit is lowered.

Explanation:

There are two ways in which a resistor can be connected in a circuit;

i) Series: In a series connection, resistors are connected end to end. In this arrangement, the current passing through each resistor is the same while the potential difference across each resistor is different.

ii) Parallel: In a parallel connection, resistors are connected to  common junctions. In this arrangement, the potential difference across each resistor is the same while the current across each resistor varies.

In a series circuit, the effective resistance is the algebraic sum of resistance of all the resistors connected in series. Hence, if a large resistor is connected in series, the effective resistance of the circuit is greatly increased.

Since the voltage is given by;

V=IR (Ohm's law)

Where R is the effective resistance

Then;

I = V/R

If R becomes very large due to a large resistance connected in series, then the current of the entire circuit is lowered.

A block is given an initial velocity of 3.00 m/s up a frictionless incline of angle 20 degrees. How far up the incline does the block slide

Answers

Answer:

The distance moved by the block is 1.34 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the block, u = 3 m/s

angle of inclination, θ = 20⁰

The net horizontal force acting on the block;

∑Fx = - mgsinθ

Apply Newton's second law of motion, to determine the constant acceleration of the block.

∑Fx = ma

- mgsinθ = ma

-gsinθ = a

Apply the following Kinematic equation, to determine how far up, the block moved before coming to rest.

[tex]V_f^2 = V_i^2 + 2a(x_f -x_i)\\\\0 = V_i^2 + 2[-gsin \theta(x_f-0)]\\\\0 = V_i^2 - 2gsin \theta(x_f)\\\\ 2gsin \theta(x_f) = V_i^2\\\\x_f = \frac{V_i^2}{2gsin \theta} = \frac{(3)^2}{2 \ \times \ 9.8 \ \times \ sin(20)} = 1.34 \ m[/tex]

Therefore, the distance moved by the block is 1.34 m

A person slaps her leg with her hand, which results in her hand coming to rest in a time interval of 2.65 ms from an initial speed of 5.25 m/s . What is the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg, assuming the total mass of the hand and the forearm to be 1.75 kg

Answers

Answer:

the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg is  3466.98 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Initial velocity of hand v₀ = 5.25 m/s

final velocity of hand v = 0 m/s

time interval t = 2.65 ms = 0.00265 s

mass of hand m = 1.75 kg

We calculate force on the hand F[tex]_{hand[/tex]

using equation for impulse in momentum

F[tex]_{hand[/tex] × t = m( v - v₀ )

we substitute

F[tex]_{hand[/tex] × 0.00265  = 1.75( 0 - 5.25 )

F[tex]_{hand[/tex] × 0.00265  = 1.75( - 5.25 )

F[tex]_{hand[/tex] × 0.00265  = -9.1875

F[tex]_{hand[/tex] = -9.1875 / 0.00265  

F[tex]_{hand[/tex] = -3466.98 N

Next we determine force on the leg F[tex]_{leg[/tex]

Using Newton's third law of motion

for every action, there is an equal opposite reaction;

so, F[tex]_{leg[/tex] = - F[tex]_{hand[/tex]

we substitute

F[tex]_{leg[/tex] = - ( -3466.98 N )

F[tex]_{leg[/tex] = 3466.98 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg is  3466.98 N

The lens labelled (B) has radius 16.5cm on the curved side. Using the shape of the lens to assign the sign of the radius, calculate the focal length of the lens. Give your answer with the correct positive or negative sign using the usual convention for lenses.

Answers

Answer:

convex       f = 33 cm

concave     f = -33 cm

Explanation:

In geometric optics the focal length of a lens is given by

         [tex]\frac{1}{f} = ( n-1) \ (\frac{1}{R_2} - \frac{1}{R_1} )[/tex]

where n is the refractive index of the medium, R₁ and R₂   are the focal lengths on each side of the lens.

In this case one of the sides is flat so its focal length is infinite, if the lens is convex the focal length is positive, convergent lens and if it is concave the focal length is negative, divergent lens.

         [tex]\frac{1}{f} = (n-1) \ \frac{1}{R}[/tex]

the refractive index of the glass is n = 1.5

let's calculate

         1 / f = (1.5 -1) 1 / 16.5

         1 / f = 0.03030

          f = 33 cm

convex       f = 33 cm

concave     f = -33 cm

3) A 30 kg child slides freely across a "Slip and Slide" on LEVEL GROUND. While the child slides, the force applied to keep them sliding is 0 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.02. What is the acceleration experienced by the child?

Answers

Answer:

a = 0.1962 m/s^2

Explanation:

The magnitude of kinetic friction exerted is given by

[tex]F_k=\mu_kN[/tex]

Where, μ_k= coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.02 and N = reaction force = mg

Where m= mass = 30 Kg and, g is acceleration due to gravity =9.81 m/s^2

F_k=0.02×30×9.81 =5.886 N

Now, since, there is no applied force this kinetic friction force will cause acceleration of the child

⇒ ma = F_k

here, a is the acceleration

⇒30a = 5.886

⇒ a = 0.1962 m/s^2

A proton traveling due north enters a region that contains both a magnetic field and an electric field. The electric field lines point due west. It is observed that the proton continues to travel in a straight line due north. In which direction must the magnetic field lines point

Answers

Answer:

upward

Explanation:

In the electromagnetic system of force if the direction of motion of proton does not changes it means that the electric and magnetic forces are such a ways that they are cancelling each other's effect.

Since, electric field lines will exert a force on the proton to the west, hence, the magnetic force must force it to the east. It is well known that magnetic force acts perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field.  magnetic field should point upward direction.

how do i find the number of leptons in an atom??

Answers

Answer:

In particle physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin 1⁄2) that does not undergo strong interactions.[1] Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons or muons), and neutral leptons (better known as neutrinos). Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed. The best known of all leptons is the electron.

At one instant, m/s is the velocity of a proton in a uniform magnetic field mT. At that instant, what are (a) the magnetic force acting on the proton, in unit-vector notation and (b) the angle between and .

Answers

Complete question is;

At one instant, v = (−2.00 i^ +4 .00 j^ − 6.00 k^)m/s is the velocity of a proton in a uniform magnetic field B = (2.00 i^ − 4.00 j^ +8 .00 k^) mT. At that instant, what are;

(a) the magnetic force acting on the proton, in unit-vector notation

(b) the angle between the velocity and magnetic field

Answer:

A) F = [1.28 × 10^(-21)] i^ + [6.4 × 10^(-22)] j^

B) θ = 151.02°

Explanation:

A) Since the unit of magnetic field is given in mT, let's convert it to T.

Thus;

B = (0.002 i^ − 0.004 j^ + 0.008 k^) T

Formula for the magnetic force is;

F = qVB

Where q = 1.6 × 10^(-19) C

Since V and B are in vector notation, the way to multiply it is;

(v_y•B_z - v_z•B_y)i^ + (v_z•B_x - v_x•B_z) j^ + (v_x•B_y - v_y•B_x) k^

Thus;

F = 1.6 × 10^(-19)((v_y•B_z - v_z•B_y)i^ + (v_z•B_x - v_x•B_z) j^ + (v_x•B_y - v_y•B_x) k^)

Plugging in the relevant values;

F = 1.6 × 10^(-19)[{(4 × 0.008) - (-6 × -0.004)} i^ + {(-6 × 0.002) - (-2 × 0.008)} j^ + {(−2 × -0.004) - (4 × 0.002)} k^]

Multiplying out gives;

F = [1.28 × 10^(-21)] i^ + [6.4 × 10^(-22)] j^

B) Angle between the 2 vectors gotten for the velocity and magnetic field is given by the formula;

Cos θ = (a•b)/(|a| × |b|)

(a•b) = (−2.00 i^ + 4.00 j^ − 6.00 k^) • (0.002 i^ − 0.004 j^ + 0.008 k^)

>> (2 × 0.002) + (4 × -0.004) + (-6 × 0.008) = -0.06

|a| = √((-2)² + (4)² + (-6)²)

|a| = √56

|b| = √((0.002)² + (-0.004)² + (0.008)²)

|b| = 0.009165

Thus;

Cos θ = -0.06/(0.009165 × √56)

Cos θ = -0.8748

θ = cos^(-1) -0.8748

θ = 151.02°
