A gamma ray photon has an energy of 0.91 GeV. (1 GeV = 109 eV.) What is the wavelength of the gamma ray in fm? (1 fm = 10-15 m)?

Enter a number with 2 digits behind the decimal point.

Answer:

$\lambda=1.37 fm$

Explanation:

The Planck Eistein relation, states that the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency:

$E=h\nu(1)$

h is the Plank constant.The frequency of a photon is defined as the speed of light over its wavelength:

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}(2)$

Replacing (2) in (1):

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}\\\lambda=\frac{(4.14*10^{-15}eV\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{0.91*10^{9}eV}\\\\\lambda=(1.37*10^{-15}m)*\frac{1fm}{10^{-15}m}\\\\\lambda=1.37 fm$

Name three types of energy that exist in a large piece of charcoal on a grill in the sunlight. Explain why the charcoal has each

qaws [65]

Answer:

A large piece of charcoal on a grill in the sunlight (if it's burning) will consist of the following types of energy:

Chemical
Heat and
Light

Explanation:

Charcoal is basically carbon which is produced when wood is heated strongly in the absence of oxygen. From a chemistry point of view, charcoal contains combustible carbon whose chemical formula is C. Sometimes, $H_{2}O$ which is water may be found in it but in very small units.

All matter contains Heat energy. Charcoal is not an exception. As the charcoal burns, the heat energy is produced along with Light energy.

Light comes in many forms such as Infrared rays, Xrays, Visible Spectrum light, etc.

The glow which the coal gives off fall under the visible spectrum of light.

A 5.00 g bullet traveling 355 m/s is stopped by lodging in the side of a building. The heat produced is shared between the build

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bullet $m=5\ gm$

speed of bullet $v=355\ m/s$

bullet is stopped by building and heat produced is shared between building and bullet

Kinetic Energy of bullet is converted into Thermal energy

Kinetic Energy of bullet $K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K=0.5\times 5\times 10^{-3}\times (355)^2$

$K=315.06\ J$

So 315.06 J of Energy is converted in to thermal energy

Lagrangian mechanics. Determine the equations of motion for a particle of mass m constrained to move on the surface of a cone in

maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi!

In order to obtain the Lagrangian of the system we must first write the Kinetic and Potential Energies. Lets orient our axes such that the axis of the cone coincide with the z axis. In cilindrical coordinates we have

$v^{2} = \frac{dr}{dt}^{2} +r^{2} \frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2} +\frac{dz}{dt} ^{2}$ - (1)

But, since the particle is constrained to move on the surface of the cilinder, we have the following relation between r and z:

$\frac{r}{z}=tan(45)$

or:

$z = r cot(45)$ - (2)

and:

$\frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{dr}{dt} cot(45)$

replacing (2) in (1) we obtain:

$v^{2} = \frac{dr}{dt}^{2} (1+cot(45))+r^{2}\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2}$ - (3)

Now the kinetic energy is given as:

$T = \frac{1}{2}m(\frac{dr}{dt}^{2} (1+cot(45))+r^{2}\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2})$ - (4)

And the potential energy is given by:

$V = -mgz = -mgr cot(45)$

So the Langrangian is given by:

$L = T - V= \frac{1}{2}m(\frac{dr}{dt}^{2}(1+cot(45)+r^{2})\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2}) + mgr cot(45)$

And the equations of motion are:

For θ

$\frac{d}{dt} (mr\frac{d\theta}{dt}) = 0-->mr{d\theta}{dt}=c$

For r

$\frac{d}{dt}(m\frac{dr}{dt}(1+cot(45) )= mgcot(45)+mr\frac{d\theta}{dt} ^{2}\\m\frac{d^{2} r}{dt^{2} }(1+cot(45)= mgcot(45)+mr\frac{d\theta}{dt} ^{2}$

Obtained from the Euler-Langrange equations

Here the conserved quantity is given by the first equation of motion, namely:

$mr\frac{d\theta}{dt}=c$

Which is the magnitude of the angular momentum
