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.

Determine the approximate force (N) used to pull a sled up a 400 m hill using 1900 J of work.
Sergeu [11.5K]
The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by
W=Fd
where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.

In our problem, the work done is W=1900 J and the distance through which the force is applied is d=400 m, so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
F= \frac{W}{d}= \frac{1900 J}{400 m} = 4.75 N \sim 5 N

Which best symbolizes the hydrogen bonding between two water molecules?
Artemon [7]

The best symbolizes the hydrogen bonding between two water molecules is given in the diagram.

<h3 /><h3>What is hydrogen bonding?</h3>

A hydrogen bond is an attraction between an electronegative atom carrying a single pair of electrons—the hydrogen bond acceptor—and a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to a more electronegative "donor" atom or group.

One definition of a polar covalent bond is one in which one atom has a stronger alternation for electron negativity difference between two bonds, the more polar the link.

Polar molecules like H2O have a mild partial negative charge in one area and a partial positive charge in another.

If the mass of an egg is 0.57kg and it is dropped, calculated the force using newton's 2nd law
nlexa [21]

F = ma

Acceleration in this case is acceleration due to gravity so

a = 9.8 m/s^2

and mass = 0.57kg

So..

F = (0.57)(9.8)

F = 5.586 or 5.56 N
