Concept explainers
To Explain:
The consequences of landing of a meteorite which has composition of antiprotons, antineutrons and positrons.
Answer to Problem 75A
It would wipe a huge amount of matter and would produce a lot of energy.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Every matter is made up of neutrons, protons, or electrons.
And these particles consist of counterparts that are known as antiparticles. They are anti-protons, anti-neutrons, and positrons.
They consist of the same mass with an opposite electric charge.
When the combination of antimatter and matter takes place,all mass is converted into huge amount of energy.
Therefore, if a meteorite is made up of anti-protons, anti-neutrons and positrons will land on earth, it will wipe a huge amount of matter and would produce a lot of energy.
Conclusion:
Hence, if the meteorite that is made up of anti-protons, anti-neutrons, and positrons will land on earth, it will wipe a huge amount of matter and would lead to the production of lots of energy.
