At what energies will the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, and pair production be the most important process for energy

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The minimum energy required by a photon to create a electron-positron pair must be equal to the sum of rest mass energies of both electron and positron.

therefore E= 2m_ec^2

=2×0.511 MeV

=1.02 MeV

Below this , the process would not occur. So, in the energy range of > 1.02 MeV

The most dominant process will be in pair production.

At the range of 200 KeV to 3 MeV, The most dominant Process is compton Scattering.

below 200 KeV , Photo electric effect is more dominant.

A sled whose total mass with cargo is 30.0 kg rests on ice. The coefficient of static friction is 0.20 and the coefficient of ki
romanna [79]

when sled just start to move the force on the sled will be equal to the static friction

So here we need to find the value of static friction

We know that

m = 30 kg

\mu_s = 0.20

now we know that normal force on the block is counterbalanced by weight of the block

F_n = mg

F_n = 30*9.8

now in order to find the friction force we can use

F_s = \mu_s * F_n

F_s = 0.20 * 30 * 9.8

F_s = 59 N

so it requires 59 N of force to move the sled

suppose an electrically charged ruler transfers some of its charge by contact to a tiny plastic sphere. will the ruler and the s
poizon [28]

Answer:

Here ball and rod will repel each other as they are of similar charges

Explanation:

As we know that the two charges attract or repel each other by electrostatic force

This force is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

so we know if two charges are similar in nature then they will repel each other and if the two charges are opposite in nature then they will attract each other

So here when rod touch the ball then it transfer its charge to the ball and due to similar charges in ball and rod they both repel each other

A boulder is raised above the ground, so that its potential energy relative to the ground is 200 J. Then it is dropped. Estimate
babymother [125]

Answer:

200 J

Explanation:

In this problem, I assume there is no air resistance, so the  system is isolated (=no external forces).

For an isolated system, the total mechanical energy is constant, and it is given by:

E=KE+PE

where

KE is the kinetic energy

PE is the potential energy

The kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of the object,  while the potential energy is the energy due to the position of the object relative to the ground.

At the beginning, when the boulder is raised above the ground, its height above the ground is maximum, while its  speed is zero; it means that all its mechanical energy is just potential energy, and it is:

E=PE_{max}=200 J

As the boulder falls  down, its altitude decreases, so its potential energy decreases, while the speed increases, and the kinetic energy increases. Therefore, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Eventually, just before the boulder hits the ground, the height of the object is zero, and the speed is maximum; this means that all the energy has now converted into kinetic energy, and we have

E=KE_{max}=200 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy just before hitting the ground is 200 J.
