Energy, in a form of gamma rays, is <span>released when an electron and its antiparticle (positron) annihilate each other. </span>

Solution:

the minimum total energy released when an electron and its antiparticle (positron) annihilate each other is:-

2 mc^2.    [Mass of electron m and c is the velocity of light.]  

m=1*10^(-30) kg., c =3*10^ 8 m/s  

energy released = 2 *9* 10 ^(-14) j  

1 j =6*10^(18) eV.  

Energy released = 6*18*10^4 eV

                               =104*10^4 eV  

                                 =1.04 MeV.

<span>And yes, it's not science if the experiment can't be repeated. In fact they should WANT it to be repeated so that you can get credit for discovering something new and then possibly harness this effect to produce useful applications. </span>

A water bottle has a mass of 14.0g. Given a density of 1.38g/cm^3, what is the volume of the plastic used to make the water bott
Kipish [7]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Volume \ of \ plastic \ used = 10.14 \ cm^3}

Given:

Mass = 14.0 g

Density (\rho) = 1.38 g/cm³

To Find:

Volume (V)of the plastic used to make water bottle

Explanation:

Formula:

\boxed{ \bold{Density \ (\rho) = \frac{Mass \ (m)}{Volume \ (V)}}}

Substituting value of m & density in the formula:

\sf \implies 1.38 =  \frac{14.0}{V} \\  \\   \sf \implies V =  \frac{14.0}{1.38} \\  \\   \sf \implies V = 10.14 \ cm^3

\therefore

Volume of the plastic used to make water bottle = 10.14 cm³

The isotope 106 46Pd (106 on top and 46 on bottom)
vazorg [7]

Answer:

4. 60 neutrons.

Explanation:

The given isotopes;

         ¹⁰⁶₄₆Pd

In this isotope, we can deduce that the mass number is the superscript and the atomic number is the subscript;

     Mass number  = 106

     Atomic number  = 46

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom;

       Mass number = Protons + neutrons

Atomic number is the number of protons

   

So,  Number of protons  = 46

Number of neutrons  = Mass number  - Atomic number

                                    = 106  - 46

                                     = 60

Number of neutrons  = 60
