Answer:

Particle-antiparticle annihilation is the result of a direct interaction between a particle and its corresponding anti particle, like a proton and an anti-proton or an electron and a positron. The result of such interaction is the production of two powerful gamma rays, each of whom has an energy roughly equal to E = mc^2, where m is the mass of the particle.

Alik [6]

Answer:

17.4 cm

Explanation:

Power of lens = +1.75 diopters

Focal length of lens

$f=\frac{100}{1.75}=\frac{400}{7}$

This is a convex lens as focal the diopter given is positive which makes the focal length positive. Image distance will be negative.

v = -25

$\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{-25}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{\frac{400}{7}}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{u}=\frac{7}{400}+\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-\frac{7}{400}-\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-0.0575\\\Rightarrow u=-17.4\ cm$

∴ The new near point is 17.4 cm

A toy spacecraft is launched directly upward. When the toy reaches its highest point, a spring is released and the toy splits in

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum conservation will cause 0.08kg to move to the west (opposite of 0.02 kg).

and because both are at the same height above the ground, they will take the same time to reach the ground.

The speed of 0.08kg will be less than 0.02 kg, let v be the speed of 0..02kg, then speed of 0.08kg V is

0.02v - (0.08)V = 0

V = 0.02 v/ 0.08 = v/4

The speed of 0.08 kg = v/4

The speed of 0.08 kg is less than 0.02kg.

So 0.02kg strikes the ground farther from the launch point than does the 0.08 kg

A bus is designed to draw its power from a rotating flywheel that is brought up to 3000 rpm by an electric motor. The flywheel i

Arada [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of rotational kinetic energy. Once this energy is found we will proceed to find the time from the definition of the power, which indicates the change of energy over time. Let's start with the kinetic energy of the rotating flywheel is

$E_r = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2$

Here

I = moment of inertia

$\omega =$ Angular velocity

Here we have that,

$\omega = 3000\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})$

$\omega = 314.159rad/s$

Replacing the value of the moment of inertia for this object we have,

$E_r = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{MR^2}{2})\omega^2$

$E_r = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2000(0.5)^2}{2})(314.159)^2$

$E_r = 1.233698*10^7J$

The expression for average power is

$P = \frac{E_r}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta t = \frac{E_r}{P}$

$\Delta t = \frac{1.233698*10^7}{20*10^3}$

$\Delta t = 616.8s \approx 620s$

Therefore the correct answer is 620s.

What does an electromagnet do?

butalik [34]

An electromagnet is a device that sends electricity through a coil of wire to produce a magnetic field. This leads to a magnet that can be controlled - turned on and off with the flip of a switch, or increased or decreased in strength. The coils are often wrapped around a regular magnet to make it stronger.
