An proton-antiproton pair is produced by a 2.20 × 10 3 MeV photon. What is the kinetic energy of the antiproton if the kinetic e

nergy of the proton is 242.85 MeV? Use the following Joules-to-electron-Volts conversion 1eV = 1.602 × 10-19 J. The rest mass of a proton is 1.67 × 10 − 27 kg.

Answer:

K = 80.75 MeV    

Explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energy of the antiproton we need to use conservation of energy:

E_{ph} = E_{p} + E_{ap} = E_{0p} + K_{p} + E_{0ap} + K_{ap} = m_{0p}c^{2} + K_{p} + m_{0ap}c^{2} + K_{ap}

<em>where E_{ph}: is the photon energy, E_{0p} and E_{0ap}: are the rest energies of the proton and the antiproton, respectively, equals to m₀c², K_{p} and K_{ap}: are the kinetic energies of the proton and the antiproton, respectively, c: speed of light, and m₀: rest mass.</em>        

Therefore the kinetic energy of the antiproton is:    

K_{ap} = E_{ph} - m_{0p}c^{2} - K_{p} - m_{0ap}c^{2}

<u>The proton mass is equal to the antiproton mass, so</u>:

K_{ap} = E_{ph} - 2m_{0p}c^{2} - K_{p}  

K_{ap} = 2.20 \cdot 10^{3}MeV - 2(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(3\cdot 10^{8} \frac {m}{s})^{2} - 242.85MeV

K_{ap} = 2.20 \cdot 10^{3}MeV - 2(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(3\cdot 10^{8} \frac {m}{s})^{2}(\frac{1eV}{1.602 \cdot 10^{-19}J})(\frac{1 MeV}{10^{6}eV}) - 242.85MeV

K_{ap} = 80.75 MeV              

Hence, the kinetic energy of the antiproton is 80.75 MeV.

I hope it helps you!

A wheel, starting from rest, rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 1.80 rad/s^2. During a certain 7.00 s interval, it
lora16 [44]

Answer:

a) 1.3 rad/s

b) 0.722 s

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity, ω = 0 rad/s

Angular acceleration of the wheel, α = 1.8 rad/s²

using equations of angular motion, we have

θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²

where

θ2 - θ1 = 53.2 rad

t2 - t1 = 7s

substituting these in the equation, we have

θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²

53.2 =ω(0) * 7 + 1/2 * 1.8 * 7²

53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 1/2 * 1.8 * 49

53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 44.1

7.ω(0) = 53.2 - 44.1

ω(0) = 9.1 / 7

ω(0) = 1.3 rad/s

Using another of the equations of angular motion, we have

ω(0) = ω(i) + α*t1

1.3 = 0 + 1.8 * t1

1.3 = 1.8 * t1

t1 = 1.3/1.8

t1 = 0.722 s

If the pitched ball was traveling 77 mph before stanton's bat hit it and 120 mph after his bat hit it, by what amount did the sp
Mice21 [21]

here we will use the concept of Newton's III law

as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat

So here we will say

impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

m_1(v_f - v_i) = m_2(\Delta v)

given that

m_1 = 5 ounce

m_2 = 32 ounce

For ball the change in speed will be

v_f - v_i = (120 - 77)mph

now from above equation

5\times (120 - 77) = 32 \times \Delta v

\Delta v = 6.72 mph

so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph

How is momentum conserved in a newtons cradle <br><br> when one steel ball hits the other
arsen [322]

In Newton's Cradle experiment we know that all cradles of same mass and identical to each other

Now we know that when two identical objects collide elastically then they interchange their velocity

So here we have same illustration

When Newton pulls up a cradle and release it will move hit another cradle which is at rest

Due to elastic collision between them first cradle comes to rest and another cradle will move ahead with same speed this process remains the same and one by one all cradle hit another.

So at the last the cradle at the end will move off with the same speed as the first cradle will hit with the speed.

So in this experiment the cradle at the last end will move off at same distance away from the right end as that of left end we pull the cradle.

So here we can say that in horizontal direction when all cradles are colliding each other there is no external force on the system so momentum is conserved and they all will move off with same speed and hence we observe the above condition.
