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!

If the crate shown here is moving at a constant speed in a straight line and the force applied is 310 N, what is the magnitude o
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

f_k = 310N

the answer is A.

Explanation:

Using the laws of newton:

∑F = ma

where ∑F is the sumatory of forces acting in the system, m the mass and a the acelertion of the system.

Then, if the block is moving with constant velocity, its aceleration is equal to 0, so:

∑F = m(0)

∑F = 0

It means that:

F -f_k = 0

where F is the force applied and f_k is the friction force. Replacing the value of F, we get:

310N -f_k = 0

Finally, solving for f_k:

f_k = 310N

Air is cooled in a process with constant pressure of 150 kPa. Before the process begins, air has a specific volume of 0.062 m^3/
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.

the specific volumes are:

initial = 0.062 m^3/kg

final = 0.027 m^3/kg.

Then, the specific work can be written as:

W = \int\limits^{vf}_{vi} {Pdv} \, = P(vf - vi) = 150kPa*(0.0027 - 0.062)m^3/kg = -5.25 kPa*m^3/kg.

The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.

Now, to write it in more common units we have that:

1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.

-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.

Answer:

C. turtles with genes for long necks had a better chance of surviving to reach reproductive age.

Explanation:

The turtles that had long necks were more fit to the environmnet in which they were lovated and were able to grow larger and have more reproductive time because of their ability to feed on grass and small shrubs, this helped them always haev food available, and made them the dominant gene eventually.
