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

6. The image to the right shows a moment of inertia
Trava [24]

The moment of inertia is the rotational analog of mass, and it is given by

the  product of mass and the square of the distance from the axis.

  • The moment of inertia changes as the position of the weight is changed, which indicates that; statement is incorrect

Reasons:

The weight on each arm that have adjustable positions can be considered as point masses.

The moment of inertia of a point mass is <em>I</em> = m·r²

Where;

m = The mass of the weight

r = The distance (position) from the center to which the weight is adjusted

Therefore;

The moment of inertia, <em>I </em>∝ r²

Which gives;

Doubling the distance from the center of rotation, increases the moment of inertia by factor of 4.

Therefore, the statement contradicts the relationship between the radius of rotation and moment of inertia.

Suppose you are measuring double‑slit interference patterns using an optics kit that contains the following options that you can
svetlana [45]

Answer:

3.6 m

Explanation:

\lambda_R = 650 \ nm\\\\\lambda_R = 650*10^{-9} m\\\\L \ should \ be \ minimum \\\\i.e \  0.25 \ mm\\\\= 0.25 *10^{-3} m

\lambda_R = 700 \ nm\\\\\lambda_R = 700*10^{-9} m\\\\

Also

\beta = 1 \ mm \ fringe \  width

D_{min} = \frac{\beta d}{\lambda}\\\\D_{min} = \frac{10^{-3}*0.25*10^{-3}}{700*10^{-9}}\\\\D_{min} = 3.57 \\D_{min} =  3.6 m

Therefore, the minimum distance L  you can place a screen from the double slit that will give you an interference pattern on the screen that you can accurately measure using an ordinary 30 cm (12 in) ruler. = 3.6 m

A ball thrown in to the air starts out with an initial upward velocity but eventually slows and stops before falling back to the
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

b) The downward force of gravity

Explanation:

The gravity force has the biggest influence on the deceleration of the ball because no matter how much force you applied on the ball, it will eventually go down again, according to newton's second law:

\sum F=m.a

right after you throw the ball, only the force exerted by the gravity will affect the ball (neglecting air resistance):

m.g=m.a\\a=g

so the object will eventually be going down again.

Why doesn’t the ball roll on forever after being kicked at a soccer game?
gavmur [86]

My guess would be because the gravity from the Earth's core is constantly pulling the ball towards the ground. It's like the moon. Why doesn't the moon just float away in space? Because Earth's gravitational pull keeps it rotating around it. Therefore, the ball will always be pulled towards the core which keeps it from from rolling forever due to friction. But i may be wrong, even though this a quite a good answer, hope it is right!
