The positron created in pair production travels a certain distance and loses all of its kinetic energy. It finally annihilates w

Answer:

In pair production, after the loss of Kinetic energy, the angular separation between the two photons is 180°.

Explanation:

  • Pair production is the process of formation of two electrons, one negative and the other positive (positron), from a pulse of electromagnetic energy traveling through matter.

  • It is a process of direct conversion of radiant energy to matter.

  • The sum of the Kinetic energies of the formed particles amounts to a value of 4 MeV.

  • When the kinetic energy is lost, emission of two photons, each with an energy of approximately 1 MeV in the form of gamma rays takes place ( in opposite direction).

Therefore, the angle of separation between the two photons is 180°.

V = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
s = displacement
Take downward direction as positive.
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
v^2 = 0.8^2 + 2(1.6)(5.5)
v^2 = 18.24

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

t=\frac{d}{s}

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s

t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}

t=3.6 \ s

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.

A planned high-speed train between Houston and Dallas will travel a distance of 386 kilometers in 5.40 × 10^3 seconds. What is t
Mazyrski [523]

¡Hellow!

For this problem, first, lets convert the seconds in hours:

5,4x10³\rightarrow 5400

h = sec / 3600

h = 5400 s / 3600

h = 1,5

Let's recabe information:

d (Distance) = 386 km

t (Time) = 1,5 h

v (Velocity) = ?

For calculate velocity, let's applicate formula:

                                                    \boxed{\boxed{\textbf{d = v * t} } }

Reeplace according we information:

386 km = v * 1,5 h

v = 386 km / 1,5 h

v = 257,33 km/h

The velocity of the train is of <u>257,33 kilometers for hour.</u>

<u></u>

Extra:

For convert km/h to m/s, we divide the velocity of km/h for 3,6:

m/s = km/h / 3,6

Let's reeplace:

m/s = 257,33 km/h / 3,6

m/s = 71,48

¿Good Luck?
