In proton-antiproton annihilation , a proton and anti-protoncollide and disappear, producing electromagnetic radiation.
If each particle has a mass of 1.67* 10^-27 kg and they are at restjust before they annihilate each other ,find the total energy ofthe radiation produced .give the answer in both joules and eV,please

2) One electron-volt, eV, is equivalent to 1.6*10^-19 Joules of energy. Ignoring gravity, if two, infinitely separated, protons (mass = 2*10^-27 kg) are shot directly toward one another, each with 1 TeV of kinetic energy (T = 10^12), how close together (what separation distance in meters) will they get, before the Coulomb force (proton charge = 1.6*10^-19 Coulombs) of repulsion stops their motion and then makes them infinitely separate again? (Hint: Use conservation of energy: as the protons approach each other, their kinetic energy is being converted into electrical potential energy, such that at their closest point of approach all of the initial kinetic energy will have been converted into electrical potential energy.)

In an antimatter warp drive engine, an electron traveling at aspeed of 0.410c meets an antielectron (i.e., a positron) head on,traveling at a speed of 0.740c. They annihilate each other, andproduce two gamma rays. What is the total energy of the resultinggamma rays? The electron and the positron have identical mass, of9.11รƒย—10-31 kg, or 0.511 MeV/c2.

Answer in MeV

An electron and a positron have masses of 9.11 10-31 kg. Theycollide and both vanish, with only electromagnetic radiationappearing after the collision. If each particle is moving at aspeed of 0.50c relative to the laboratory before the collision,determine the energy of the electromagnetic radiation. _____J
