- Where is the 1/4 comes from?arrow_forwardYou are working for an alternative energy company. Your supervisor has an idea for a new energy source. He wants to build a matter-antimatter reactor that will convert the entire mass of the matter and antimatter into recoverable energy, with no waste. He has lofty ideas; he wants his reactor to provide energy to the entire world, replacing coal, fossil fuel, hydroelectric, wind, thermal, and nuclear energy sources in all countries. (a) He asks you to determine the masses of the supply of matter and antimatter that will need to be combined to provide the world’s needs for one year. (b) He also asks you to determine how large the storage containers must be to hold a 5.0-yr supply of the matter and antimatter while it is waiting to be used in the reactor. The current energy consumption worldwide is about 4.0 × 1020 J per year, and the matter and antimatter will have approximately the density of aluminum, 2.70 g/cm3.arrow_forwardMore than 60 years ago, future Nobel laureate Sheldon Glashow predicted that if an antineutrino — the antimatter answer to the nearly massless neutrino — collided with an electron, it could produce a cascade of other particles. The "Glashow resonance (Links to an external site.)" phenomenon is hard to detect, in large part because the antineutrino needs about 1,000 times more energy than what's produced in the most powerful colliders on Earth. Let's compare this event to an ordinary baseball with a mass of 146 g. Please use three significant figures in your calculations. 1. Now consider a baseball with the same kinetic energy as that of the Glashow resonance. What speed in m/s would correspond to this energy? 2.arrow_forward
