Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:
As we know that alpha particle remain at rest always so the energy of system of positron and alpha particle will remain constant
So we will have

here we know that


also we have




now from above equation we have


Part b)
Now when it come to rest then again by energy conservation we can say

now here final speed will be zero


Calculate the time it takes for sunlight to reach Earth if it travels at 300,000 km / s, knowing that the distance from the sun to the earth is 150,000,000 km. Express it in minutes
Answer:
8.3min
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Speed of sunlight = 300000km/s
Distance of sun and earth = 150000000km
Unknown:
Time in minutes = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem;
Speed =
Time =
Now insert the parameters and find the speed;
Time =
= 500s
Now;
60s makes 1 minute
500s will give
= 8.3min
