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°.

<span>1) Explain how the particles that make up solid matter can be in perpetual motion if they do not change position.  Answer: they do not mov, just vibrate a bit more and move further apart. And as a result solid expand a bit.

</span><span>2) How the Kinetic Theory of Matter defines heat. Answer: Heat is a form of energy that particles convert into kinetic energy. Adding a heat energy increases the kinetic energy of particles. This means that as a substance is heated - the particles vibrate faster and move further apart. </span>

How much heat is needed to bring 12.0 g of water from 28.3 °C to 43.87 °C, if the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/(g•
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Heat capacity, Q = 781.74 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 12g

Initial temperature = 28.3°C

Final temperature = 43.87°C

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184J/g°C

To find the quantity of heat needed?

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 43.87 - 28.3

dt = 15.57°C

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = 12*4.184*15.57

Q = 781.74 Joules

A 20.00 kg lead sphere is hanging from a hook by a thin, massless wire 2.80 m long and is free to swing in a complete circle. Tr
Tema [17]

The minimum initial speed of the dart so that the combination makes a complete circular loop after the collision is 58.5 m/s.

<h3>Minimum speed for the object not fall out of the circle</h3>

The minimum speed if given by tension in the wire;

T + mg = ma

T + mg = m(v²)/R

tension must be zero for the object not fall

0 + mg = mv²/R

v = √(Rg)

<h3>Final speed of the two mass after collision</h3>

Use the principle of conservation of energy

K.Ef  = K.Ei + P.E

¹/₂mvf² = ¹/₂mv² + mg(2R)

¹/₂vf² = ¹/₂v² + g(2R)

¹/₂vf² = ¹/₂(Rg) + g(2R)

vf² = Rg + 4Rg

vf² = 5Rg

vf = √(5Rg)

vf = √(5 x 2.8 x 9.8)

vf = 11.7 m/s

<h3>Initial speed of the dart</h3>

Apply principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;

5v = vf(20 + 5)

5v = 11.7(25)

5v = 292.5

v = 58.5 m/s
