A positron and an electron annihilate each other upon colliding, thereby producing energy in the form of two gamma rays. Assumin

g that both gamma rays have the same energy (since both particles have the same mass), calculate the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation used in pm. (1 pm = 10⁻¹² m; mass of electron (amu) = 0.000549)

Answer:

2.42631E-13m

Explanation:

First we find the mass defect

Which is m= 0-2(9.10939E-33kg)

= - 1.82188E-30kg

Now find the energy

S

E= mc²=( -18.82188E-30)(2.999792E8)²

= 1.63742E-13J

Thus energy per photon will be

1.63742E-13J/2= 8.18710E-14J

So wavelength is given as

Lambda= hc/E

= (6.62608E-34)(2.997E8)/8.18710J

= 2.42631E-13m

Force is a vector because it has both magnitude and
il63 [147K]

Answer:

and direction

Explanation:

because when we definite force force is the pull or push of an object and when a force is exerted on the object it works 3 tasks 1, it multiply the force , 2, it multiply the speed, 3, it changes the directions so when we see a vector quantity is a quantity that have both magnitude and direction so when it multiply it's force and speed the object will have magnitude and when it multiply it's direction the object will have a direction. thank you for reading this explanation.☺☺☺☺

How is Aristotles model similar to Ptolemy’s model
Margarita [4]

I'm assuming you mean models of the solar system:

Both Aristotle and Ptolemy had the idea that the solar system was geocentric. This means that all objects in the solar system including the Sun revolve around the Earth.
