Chapter 13, Problem 20SEQ

Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.

20.Energy from antimatter total annual U.S. power consumption is about 2x1020 joules. Suppose you could supply that energy by combining pure matter with pure antimatter .estimate the total mass of matter antimatter fuel you would need in order to provide the United States with energy for 1 years. how does that mass compare with the amount of matter in your car’s gas tank?( A gallon of gas has a mass of about 4 kilograms.) (Hint: consider the meaning of the formula B=mc2 and use the fact that 1 joule-1KG X m2/s2.)

For this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha, Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. A certain radio-isotope emits ONE alpha particle, and its products then emit TWO beta-minus particles in succession. The atomic number of the final resulting nucleus will now change (as compared to your starting nucleus) by O A. zero O B. minus 1 OC. minus 2 O D. minus 3
Quick Prep Use the References to access important values if needed for this question. n=00 n=4 n=3 In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the electron occupies distinct energy states. One transition between energy states of the hydrogen atom is represented by the picture on the left. n-2 n=1 Niels Bohr 1. In this transition an electron moves from the n= level to the n = | level. A. Absorbed 2. Energy is in this process. B. Emitted A. Closer to 3. The electron moves the nucleus. B. Further from Submit Answer 5 question attempts remaining
