A proton and an antiproton each with total energy of 473 GeV collide head-on. What is the total energy released?Answer in units of GeV

947. 875GeV

Explanation:

According to einstein's E = mC^2

Energy can be converted to mass and mass can be converted to energy. The 'c' in the formula is the speed of light.

When two atomic particle of opposite charges collide they anhilate each other completely to release energy.

The energy released is the sum of the energy they possessed and the energy due to their mass being converted into energy.

Since each particle has an energy of 473 GeV each, then the total sum of the energy they posses is 473*2= 946 GeV

According to experiment, a proton and an anti proton have the same mass, and this has been shown to be equal 1.007276u.

Basic conversion has it that;

1u = one-twelfth the mass of one atom of the carbon-12 isotope.

This means;

1u = 1.66*10^-27 kg = 391 Mev = 0.391GeV,

According to energy mass conversion.

Total mass of the colliding particles = 1.007276 * 2 = 2.014552u

Therefore energy of colliding particles due to mass conversion

= 2.014552 * 0.931GeV

= 1.875 GeV

Total energy liberated in this process equal

946 + 1.875 = 947.875 GeV

carbon is found in all living things. carbon atoms move constantly through

living organisms, the oceans, the atmosphere, and the earth’s crust in what is

known as the carbon cycle. the directions taken by carbon atoms through this

cycle are very complicated and can take millions of years to make a full circle.

all animals, from humans to the dinosaurs are part of the carbon cycle. when

animals eat food, they get carbon in the form of carbohydrates and proteins.

in animals, oxygen combines with food in the cells to produce energy for daily

activity and then gives off carbon. the carbon combines with oxygen to form

carbon dioxide (co2) and is released back into the atmosphere as a waste

product when animals breathe and exhale.

from 145-65 million years ago, earth was much

hotter than today and covered with dense,

tropical swamp forests. the trees and other

plants were immense and

provided an endless supply of

food for the giant animals that

roamed the land. somewhere in

the air above one of these

forests, a lone carbon atom has joined

up with two oxygen atoms to form a molecule of co2.

the co2 molecule was sucked into the tiny holes (stomata) on the leaf of a

fern plant and joined with sunlight, chlorophyll and water to make food and

energy in the plant’s cells through photosynthesis. the oxygen (o2) from the

co2 molecule was sent back into the atmosphere; the carbon atom (c) was

detached and used to make a molecule of sugar.

if that carbon atom had been eaten instead, a totally

different situation would have developed. let’s say

that a giant plant-eating dinosaur (herbivore) ate the

fern for breakfast, and swallowed the carbon in the

fern in the form of carbohydrates and proteins. in

the process of respiration, oxygen combined with

the carbohydrates and proteins in the dinosaur’s cells

to provide energy for its daily activity.  

explanation: magnetic pole, region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest. the south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole. unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each other.
