Chapter 13, Problem 20SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
20.Energy from antimatter total annual U.S. power consumption is about 2x1020 joules. Suppose you could supply that energy by combining pure matter with pure antimatter .estimate the total mass of matter antimatter fuel you would need in order to provide the United States with energy for 1 years. how does that mass compare with the amount of matter in your car’s gas tank?( A gallon of gas has a mass of about 4 kilograms.) (Hint: consider the meaning of the formula B=mc2 and use the fact that 1 joule-1KG X m2/s2.)

Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.
