Suppose that an electron and a positron collide head-on. Both have kinetic energy of 1.64 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?

The electron and positron collide and annihilate each other, converting their total energy (sum of kinetic and rest energy) into energy carried by two photons:

2(1.64MeV  + 0.511MeV) = 2E_{photon}

E_{photon} = 1.64MeV  + 0.511MeV

E_{photon} = 2.15MeV

Which of the following is not a measurement taken by a radiosonde?
MariettaO [177]

Correct answer choice is :


A) Atmospheric composition


Explanation:


A radiosonde is a battery-powered telemetry device transmitted into the environment normally by a weather balloon that regulates several atmospheric parameters and sends them by radio to a ground receiver. The radiosonde is a small, expandable device unit that is recessed below a six-foot-wide balloon inflated with hydrogen or helium. As the radiosonde stands at about 1,000 feet/minute, sensors on the radiosonde measure forms of pressure, temperature, and related moisture.

An oak block had the following dimension, 2 cm by 2 cm and 5 cm in height. A copper block had the same dimensions. The copper bl

Answer:

ρ_body = 1000 kg / m³

Explanation:

This is an exercise in fluid mechanics, specifically we must use the Archimedean principle, which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the dislodged liquid.

In this case let's start by finding the volume of our body

oak block

      v = l to h

       v = 0.02 0.02 0.05

       V = 2 10⁻⁵ m³

cooper block indicate that it has the same dimensions so its volume is the same, the total volume of the body is

        V_total = 4 10⁻⁵ m³

as they indicate that the body is fully submerged there is a balance between weight and thrust

          B - W = 0

the push is

          B = ρ_fluid g V_total

the body weight is

         ρ_body = M / V_total

          M = ρ_body V_total

         W = Mg

          W = ρ_body V_total g

we substitute

          ρ_fluid g V_total = ρ_body V_total g

        ρ_body = ρ_fluid

in this case the body is in equilibrium in the fluid, in case the density of the body is greater than that of the fluid, the body sinks

Therefore the average density is equal to the density of the fluid, since since it is water the density is

              ρ_body = 1000 kg / m³

How are emotional and intellectual health related
Tcecarenko [31]
A good way to think about mental and emotional health is like a tag team. Mental health refers to your ability to process information. Emotional health, on the other hand, refers to your ability to express feelings which are based upon the information you have processed.
