by doubling the mass you are also doubling the force acting on the mass causing "a" to remain constant
F/m = 2F/2m
remember that F will change as the mass changes, the only variable that should remain constant in a given location will be "a" in this case ~9.8 m/s^2
does that sound right?
ok i think i kinda got it now.
the single escape peak (E-.511) is just a photon that was created by the annihilation bouncing off another e- in the system right?
what does the double escape peak (E-(2*.511))correspond to though?
so the single escape peak would just correspond to the energy of a photon that was produced by an electron-positron annihilation that has already happened? leftovers from the initial collision so to speak? and the double would just be the same thing happening again?
Hey can someone explain the significants of the different components of the Compton spectrum? I know that the Compton edge comes from the incident angle of the photon approaching 180 degrees and that its the maximum energy that can be transferred from the photon to the electron without reaching...
Does anybody know of any companies currently involved with advancing nuclear energy in areas like Alberta?
I have two years of Astrophysics and on my 2nd year of Geophysics and want to really start getting into the professional aspect of nuclear energy (something i hope to make a career out...
well doesn't olber's suggest that the whole sky would be lit up with stars? how can the whole sky be lit up if there are black spots?.. whether it be one or as many as "pimples on a teenager"
correct me if that's off... I am new to the olbers paradox
... back on topic...
what about if there was some sort of massive body like a black hole between you and the closest star in one particular direction... would that black hole " suck up" all the photons not allowing you to detect them? Is it possible that this would create a dark spot...
suppose the dying star collapsed in on itself and made some sort of black hole, and the last photon never made it past the event horizon. If you were still standing at the center of where the star once was (now a black hole) would you be able to see the photon that never escaped and is now...
