Answer:

Explanation:

As B has a y component of -5, A must have a y component of 5 to have the result lie on the x axis.

As B has an x component of 3 and the result has an x component of -4, A must have an x component of -7

A = (-7, 5)

magnitude A = √(7² + 5²) = √74  ≈ 8.60

θ = arctan(y/x) = arctan(5/-7) ≈ 144.46° CCW from the positive x axis

Setler79 [48]
Because the tip of the moon's shadow ... the area of "totality" ... is never more than a couple hundred miles across, It never covers a single place for more than 7 minutes, and can never stay on the Earth's surface for more than a few hours altogether during one eclipse.

If you're not inside that small area, you don't see a total eclipse.

Which is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy? Select two options.
Rasek [7]

<u>Complete Question:</u>

Which is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy? Select two options.

changing thermal energy to electrical energy

changing chemical energy to thermal energy

changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

changing radiant energy to electrical energy

changing mechanical energy to chemical energy

<u>Correct Answer:</u>

The examples of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy are changing chemical energy to thermal energy and changing nuclear energy to radiant energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As stated by the conservation of energy law, any form of energy is usually transferred to another form. The basic kinds of energy is potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy stored for the objects at rest and kinetic energy is the energy utilized by the objects for motion.

So in the given options, chemical energy is the energy stored by the chemical bonds to make a stable compound and that energy is converted to thermal energy when the bonds get broken. So the stored energy or the energy required to keep the bonds intact is chemical energy and it is thus a form of potential energy.

And when these bonds get broken, the electrons use the thermal energy released by this breakage as their kinetic energy. So one form of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy is by changing chemical energy to thermal energy.

Similarly, the nuclear energy is exhibited by the elementary particles in an atom. So it is similar to potential energy and the radiant energy is released whenever there is an excitation. So the radiant energy will be similar to kinetic energy.

Thus, the changing of chemical energy to thermal energy and the changing of nuclear energy to radiant energy are the examples of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy.

The positron created in pair production travels a certain distance and loses all of its kinetic energy. It finally annihilates w
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

In pair production, after the loss of Kinetic energy, the angular separation between the two photons is 180°.

Explanation:

  • Pair production is the process of formation of two electrons, one negative and the other positive (positron), from a pulse of electromagnetic energy traveling through matter.

  • It is a process of direct conversion of radiant energy to matter.

  • The sum of the Kinetic energies of the formed particles amounts to a value of 4 MeV.

  • When the kinetic energy is lost, emission of two photons, each with an energy of approximately 1 MeV in the form of gamma rays takes place ( in opposite direction).

Therefore, the angle of separation between the two photons is 180°.
