An electron and an antielectron (positron) each have a rest energy of 0.511 MeV , or approximately 8.2×10−14 J . When an electro

n and a positron are both stationary and located next to each other during an annihilation process, their mass energy converts to electromagnetic energy released as photons, electromagnetic particles that have momentum but no mass and that travel at the speed of light. What is the minimum number of photons that could be released, and how much energy would each photon posses?

Answer:

Explanation:

Photon is also a particle . Hence when two particles like electron and positron annihilate to get completely changed to photons , a minimum of two photons of equal and opposite momentum and energy are produced flying in opposite direction  to conserve momentum and energy . Each photon will have same energy equal to 511 keV . It is so to conserve momentum and energy. Initially total momentum was zero so finally too total momentum should be zero.

Explain a situation in which you can accelerate even though your speed doesn’t change.
Serga [27]
"Acceleration" does NOT mean speeding up.  It also doesn't mean
slowing down.  Acceleration means ANY change in the speed
OR DIRECTION of motion.

The only kind of motion that's NOT accelerated is motion at a steady
speed AND in a straight line.

Even when your speed is steady, you're accelerating if your direction
is changing.

A few examples:
(no speeds are changing):

-- driving on a curved road, or turning a corner
-- going around a curve on a skateboard, a bike, or a Segway
-- running on a quarter-mile track
-- an Indy car cruising a practice lap around the track
-- water spinning, getting ready to go down the drain
-- any point on the blade of a fan
-- the little ball going around the inside of a Roulette wheel
-- the Moon in its orbit around the Earth
-- the Earth in its orbit around the sun

You have a source of energy containing 21 gj of energy at 600k how much this energy can be converted to work when rejecting heat
sweet [91]

Answer:

Available energy = 35 x 10⁶ J

Explanation:

Given:

Amount of energy (Q) = 21 gj = 21 x 10⁹ J

Temperature T1 = 600 k

Temperature T0 = 27 + 273 = 300k

Find:

Available energy

Computation:

Available energy = Q[1/T0 - 1/T1]

Available energy = 21 x 10⁹ J[1/300 - 1/600]

Available energy = 35 x 10⁶ J
