What is a cosmic ray?

Physics
1 answer:
bonufazy [111]3 years ago
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".

A body moving with an initial velocity of 30m/s accelerates uniformly at the rate of 10m/s . what is the distance covered during
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The distance covered by the body is, S = 800 m

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial velocity of the body, u = 30 m/s

The acceleration of the body, a = 10 m/s²

Let the time period of travel be, t = 10 s

Using the II equations of motion,

                       S = ut + ½ at²

Substituting the given values,

                        S = 30 x 10 + ½ x 10 x 10²

                         S = 800 m

Hence, the distance covered by the body is, S = 800 m

What are scientific theories?
Goryan [66]

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.

If all else stays the same, which would cause an increase in the gravitational force on a space shuttle?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth .

Explanation:

According to expression of gravitational force:

F=\frac{G\times m_1\times m_2}{r^2}

G = gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 = masses of two objects

r = Distance between the two objects.

F = Gravitational force

From the above expression we can say that gravitational force is inversely proportional to squared of the distance between the two masses.

F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

So, in order to increase the gravitational force on space shuttle distance between the space space shuttle  must be decreased.

Hence, the correct answer 'decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth '.
