What is a cosmic ray?

Physics

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".

A capacitor is charged until its stored energy is 7.54 J. A second capacitor is then connected to it in parallel. If the charge
Ivan

Answer:

2 J

Explanation:

A charged capacitor of capacitance C_1 with energy of 7.54 J, is connected in parallel with another capacitor C_2 , so the charge is equally distributed between them.

(a) The energy stored in the capacitor before it being connected to the other capacitor is:

U_O=q_0^2/2C_1=7.54 J\\

The energy stored in the electric field is the sum of the energies of the two capacitors:

U=U_1+U_2\\U=q_1^2/2C_1+q_2^2/2C_2

since the charge equally distributed,  q_1 = q_2 = q_o/2. and since they are connected in parallel the potential difference on both of them is the same :

V_1=V_2\\q_1/C_1=q_2/C_2\\q_0/C_1=q_0/C_2\\C_1=C_2=C_3\\

hence,

U=q_0^2/8C+q_0^2/8C\\U=q_0^2/4C\\U=2J

Two air track carts move along an air track towards each other. Cart A has a mass of 450 g and moves toward the right with a spe
ra1l [238]

Answer:

0.465 kgm/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the cart A, m1 = 450 g

Speed of the cart A, v1 = 0.85 m/s

Mass of the cart B, m2 = 300 g

Speed of the cart B, v2 = 1.12 m/s

Now, using the law of conservation of momentum.

It is worthy of note that our cart B is moving in opposite directions to A

m1v1 + m2v2 =

(450 * 0.85) - (300 * 1.12) =

382.5 - 336 =

46.5 gm/s

If we convert to kg, we have

46.5 / 100 = 0.465 kgm/s

Thus, the total momentum of the system is 0.465 kgm/s
