The first antiparticle, the positron or antielectron, was discovered in 1932. It had been predicted by Paul Dirac in 1928, though the nature of the prediction was not fully understood until the experimental discovery. Today, it is well accepted that all fundamental particles have antiparticles. Suppose that an electron and a positron collide head-on. Both have kinetic energy of 3.58 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 Eloton of one of these photons?

Aplane takes off from an airport and flies to town a, located d1 = 215 km from the airport in the direction 20.0Ā° north of east. the plane then flies to town b, located d2 = 230 km at 30.0Ā° west of north from town a. use graphical methods to determine the distance and direction from town b to the airport. (enter the distance in km and the direction in degrees south of west.)

The focal length of a relaxed human eye is approximately 1.7 cm. when we focus our eyes on a close up object, we can change the refractive power of the eye by about 16 diopters. (a) does the refractive power of our eyes increase or decrease by 16 diopters when we focus closely? explain. (b) calculate the focal length of the eye when we focus closely.

An electron is ejected into a horizontal uniform eāƒ— field at a parallel horizontal velocity of v0. assume the electron's initial position x0, initial velocity v0, time t, magnitude of electric field e, electron's mass m, and the magnitude of the electron's charge |e|. ignore the force that earth exerts on the electron. assume the eāƒ— field is in the same direction as the initial velocity. part a define the equation for the electron's velocity. express your answer in terms of the variables v0, |e|, t, e, and m.

Does the distance travelled by an oscillating mass between times t=0 and t2 equal the displacement of the particle over the same time period if t2> t/2? hint: consider a sine wave starting at t1=0, then consider a closing wave starting at t1=0, for your explanation.
