Suppose that an electron and a positron collide head-on. Both have kinetic energy of 1.20 MeV and rest energy of 0.511 MeV. They

produce two photons, which by conservation of momentum must have equal energy and move in opposite directions. What is the energy Ephoton of one of these photons

Answer:

E = 1.711 MeV

Explanation:

From the law of the conservation of energy:

K.E_{e}+K.E_p + E_{e}+E_{p} = 2 E

where,

K.E_e=K.Ep= the kinetic energy of positron and electron = 1.2 MeV

E_e=E_p = Rest energy of the electron and the positron = 0.511 MeV

E = Energy of Photon = ?

Therefore,

1.2\ MeV + 1.2\ MeV + 0.511\ MeV + 0.511\ MeV = 2E\\\\E = \frac{3.422\ MeV}{2}\\\\

<u>E = 1.711 MeV</u>

Which is true?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

e)  A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.

Explanation:

Ok, we start with a magnetic field and let's study how it affects the motion of a single electron. As the magnetic field changes, it will cause an electromotive force, that moves the electron, and because now we have a moving electron, now we will have an electric field. (Such that the direction of the electromotive force opposes the direction in which the magnetic field changes). This also can be deduced if we look at the third Maxwell's equation:

dE/dx = -dB/dt

This says that the spatial change in an electric field depends on how the magnetic field changes as time pass.

Then the correct option is e)  A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.

What are two ways air resistance can be increased?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is said to have reached a terminal velocity.

If an object absorbs all colors but red, we see
julia-pushkina [17]
[I researched for you, since I am not in that particular level to know that knowledge yet. I assure this is accurate info :)]

The answer is A, red.
"Remember, the color you see is light REFLECTING off the surface of that object. If all colors are absorbed in to the surface EXCEPT red, red must be reflected, and you'll see red." - Yahoo User @Chap
