A photon produced in the centre of the sun, travels about 1 cm
between collisions and there are 10^8 collisions per sec.
a) What is the average distance travelled in any direction between
steps?
b) What is the standard deviation about this value?
c) The radius of the Sun is 7x10^8 m. How many steps must a
photon take before having a 32% chance of being outside the
Sun?
d) How many years does the number of steps in “c” correspond
to?

Problem 10.23 An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, containing 2 protons and 2 neutrons) starts out with kinetic energy of 9.9 MeV (9.9 x 100 eV), and heads in the +x direction straight toward a gold nucleus (containing 79 protons and 118 neutrons). The particles are initially far apart, and the gold nucleus is initially at rest. Answer the following questions about the collision. What is the initial momentum of the alpha particle? (You may assume its speed is small...

Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...

220AL-E1 he uncertainty in an experimental quantity must be reported. Since there are a number of ways to do this we must state the meaning of the uncertainty. A Estimated uncertaint Sometimes we make several measurements that are identical. Eq 1-2 would yield ơx-0, which could lead to the mistaken impression that the uncertainty is zero when in fact the precision of the instrument is less than the random errors. We must estimate the uncertainty, and,...

Help with Data Science python notebook, Question 1 Create a function called vowel_parse() that takes a single string as input. This string is the name of the input directory. It returns a dictionary. This dictionary has keys that are the names of the individual input files. The dictionary values are the number of words in that file that have adjacent vowels ('aa', 'ae', 'oo', 'ia', etc.). Use a regular expression to find these, do not hard code every possible combination...

Please read the article and answer about questions. You and the Law Business and law are inseparable. For B-Money, the two predictably merged when he was negotiat- ing a deal for his tracks. At other times, the merger is unpredictable, like when your business faces an unexpected auto accident, product recall, or government regulation change. In either type of situation, when business owners know the law, they can better protect themselves and sometimes even avoid the problems completely. This chapter...
