Answer:

Energy of scattered photon is 232.27 keV.

Kinetic energy of recoil electron is 497.73 keV.

The recoil angle of electron is 13.40°

Explanation:

The energy of scattered photon is given by the relation :

E_{2}=\frac{E_{1} }{1+(\frac{E_{1} }{m_{e}c^{2}  })(1-\cos\theta) }     .....(1)

Here E₁ is the energy of incident photon, E₂ is the energy of scattered photon, m_{e} is mass of electron and θ is scattered angle.

Substitute 730 keV for E₁, 511 keV for m_{e} and 120° for θ in equation (1).  

E_{2}=\frac{730 }{1+(\frac{730 }{511  })(1-\cos120) }

E₂ = 232.27 keV

Kinetic energy of recoil electron is given by the relation :

K.E. = E₁ - E₂ = (730 - 232.27 ) keV = 497.73 keV

The recoil angle of electron is given by :

\cot\phi=(1+\frac{E_{1} }{m_{e}c^{2}  })\tan\frac{\theta}{2}

Substitute the suitable values in above equation.

\cot\phi=(1+\frac{730 }{511  })\tan\frac{120}{2}

\cot\phi=4.20

\phi = 13.40°

Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm3. What is the mass of a 5 cm3 block of gold?
Tems11 [23]
Do not forget that mass = <span>volume x density
</span>Mass of 1 cm^3 = Density[/tex]
mass of 2 cm^3 = 19.3 g + 19.3 g = 2*19.3 g
Then eventually we can find <span>mass of 5 cm^3 : = 
</span>19.3 g + 19.3 g+19.3g+19.3g+19.3g= 5*19.3 g
So the answer is D
<span>And that's it. I'm sure it will help.</span>

the roque requried to turn the crank on an ice cream maker is 4.50 N.m how much work does it take to turn the crank through 300
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

the work required to turn the crank at the given revolutions is 8,483.4 J

Explanation:

Given;

torque required to turn the crank, T = 4.50 N.m

number of revolutions, = 300 turns

The work required to turn the crank is given as;

W = 2πT

W = 2 x 3.142 x 4.5

W = 28.278 J

1 revolution = 28.278 J

300 revlotions = ?

= 300 x 28.278 J

= 8,483.4 J

Therefore, the work required to turn the crank at the given revolutions is 8,483.4 J

The magnitude of the weight of a 3.0 kg object on the surface of the earth is 29 N. True False
madreJ [45]
True

In fact, the weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is given by:
F=mg
where m is the mass of the object and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. If we use the mass of the object, m=3.0 kg, we find
F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=29 N
