What is the minimum photon energy needed to create and e- -e+ pair when a photon collides (a)with a free electron at rest and (b) with a free proton at rest?
A 95g stone hangs at the end of a string 85cm long and is whirled in a horizontal circle. The stone completes one revolution in 0.9s. Find the angle that the string makes with the vertical.
An X-ray source of unknown wavelength is directed at a carbon sample. An electron is scattered with a speed of 4.5 x 107m/s at an angle of 60o. Determine the wavelength of the X-ray source.
Astronaut Alan Shepard took a golf ball to the Moon. He hit what is thought to be the longest golf drive in history. What speed would an astronaut need to give a lunar golf ball in order to put the
A 5.50 x 104-kg space probe is traveling at a speed of 15000 m/s through deep space. Retrorockets are fired along the line of motion to reduce the probe's speed. The retrorockets generate a force of
Often, the work done is expressed in nutritional Calories rather than in joules. Express the work done in part (a) in terms of nutritional Calories, noting that 1 joule = 2.389 x 10-4 nutritional Ca
When at rest, a proton experiences a net electromagnetic force that has a magnitude of 7.2 x 10-14 N and points in the positive x-direction. When the same proton later moves with a speed of 2.0 x 106
