So, while working some problems in my modern physics books, I met this question:
A photon whose energy equals the rest energy of the electron undergoes a Compton collision with an electron. If the electron moves off at an angle of 40 degrees with the original photon direction, what is the...
So, I'm new to astrophys, and I'm having trouble making a model because I don't think I understand an equation. It's a vapor pressure law, and it says it takes the form of
log(pressure) = A-(B/T)
T is in kelvins, A is 10.6, and B is 13500.
Apparently pressure ends up being dynes/cm^2...
I'm getting a little stuck on terminology, but most of it can be looked up in wikipedia. However, there's one term I'm having trouble with.
The paper is for a model of micrometeorites entering the atmosphere. It says:
"Entry velocities ranged between 11.2 and 72 km/sec following a v^-5,394...
