What is a cosmic ray?

1 answer:

5 0

Possibly something that interacts with the earth's magnetic field and produces the spectacular "Northern Lights", or "Aurora Borealis" if you prefer latin. Charged particles moving at relativistically high speeds, some of which may be from the sun via solar flares. I think that mu mesons are cosmic rays. First discovered by a scientist in a hot air balloon (he 'd gone up with instruments to detect them), and later used to verify the time dilation result of special relativity by MIT and the "mount washington experiment".

How will a current change if the resistance of a circuit remains constant while the voltage across the circuit decreases to half

beks73 [17]

Answer:

1. The current will drop to half of its original value.

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage across the circuit

R is the resistance of the circuit

I is the current

We can rewrite it as

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

In this problem, we have:

- the resistance of the circuit remains the same: R' = R

- the voltage is decreased to half of its original value: $V'=\frac{V}{2}$

So, the new current will be

$I'=\frac{V'}{R'}=\frac{V/2}{R}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{V}{R}=\frac{I}{2}$

so, the current will drop to half of its original value.

You decide to roll a 0.11-kgkg ball across the floor so slowly that it will have a small momentum and a large de Broglie wavelen

Oksanka [162]

The de Broglie wavelength $\lambda = 4.0\times 10^{-30}$ m

We know that

de Broglie wavelength = $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}\lambda = \frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{0.11\times 1.5 \times 10 ^{-3}}$

$\lambda = 4.0\times 10^{-30}$ m

<h3>What is de Broglie wavelength?</h3>

According to the de Broglie equation, matter can behave like waves, much like how light and radiation do, which are both waves and particles. A beam of electrons can be diffracted just like a beam of light, according to the equation. The de Broglie equation essentially clarifies the notion of matter having a wavelength.

Therefore, whether a particle is tiny or macroscopic, it will have a wavelength when examined.

The wave nature of matter can be seen or observed in the case of macroscopic objects.

Why is the force of gravity on your body weaker on the Moon than on the Earth?

andrezito [222]

Answer:

The moon’s gravity is weaker than the earth gravity due to the smaller in size as compared to the earth. As there is no atmosphere present on the moon gravity, so there are fewer chances of withstanding temperature.
