spin [16.1K]

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.

Two resistors with values of 6.0 W and 12 W are connected in parallel. This combination is connected in series with a 2.0 W resi
Murljashka [212]
Well, first of all, you really shouldn't use ' W ' for the unit when you
talk about resistors.

You may have seen the resistors written as 6ω, 12ω, and 2ω in your
book or on the homework sheet. But that little symbol ' ω ' is not a ' w '.
It's the small Greek letter 'omega'. The CAPITAL omega is ' Ω '. It's used
to label resistors because it's short for "ohms". So the resistors in this
problem have resistances of 6Ω, 12Ω, and 2Ω, and we have to do some
manipulating of the individual resistors to find out what resistance the
battery actually sees.

The parallel combination of the first two resistors looks like a single
resistor, whose value is

1 / (1/6 + 1/12)

= 1 / (2/12 + 1/12)

= 1 / (3/12)

= 12/3 = 4Ω .

Now, that parallel combination is connected in series with 2Ω .
All three resistors together look like a single resistor of

4Ω + 2Ω = 6Ω .

So the battery thinks there's a single resistor connected to it,
with 6Ω of resistance. The current out of the battery is

I = V / R = (24v) / (6Ω) = 4 Amperes.

That 4 Amperes of current will split between the parallel resistors,
but it will ALL flow through the series 2Ω resistor because there's
no other path through that part of the circuit.

So the current through the 2Ω resistor is 4 Amperes. (B).

Note:
The POWER dissipated by the 2Ω resistor is

P = I² R = (4A)² · (2Ω) = 32 watts .

This is a fair amount of heat, so you'll need to provide some way
to remove the heat from the resistor, otherwise it'll burn or crack.

Why do we use other bonding theories in addition to the lewis model?
Setler [38]

Full Question:

Why do we use other bonding theories in addition to the lewis model?

a) Lewis model is not suitable for all molecules or ions. b) Lewis model cannot predict all of the properties of a molecule or ion. c) Lewis model is too complicated.

Answer:

b) Lewis model cannot predict all of the properties of a molecule or ion.

Explanation:

Lewis structures, also called electron-dot structures or electron-dot diagrams, are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

Lweis  model does not explain the geometry of molecules, how the bonds form, or how the electrons are shared between the atoms hence the need to use other bonding theories.
