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".

A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The absolute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.50 x 105 P

MArishka [77]

Answer:

$F \approx 19.5 N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure of $P_{CO_2}=1.50 * 105 Pa.$

Bottle cap area $A_b= 4.40 * 10-4 m^2$

Generally the equation for Resultant pressure $P_r$ is give as is mathematically given by

$P_r=P_{CO_2}-P_a$

Where

$P_a=atmospheric\ pressure = 1.013*10^5 pa$

$P_r=1.50 * 105 Pa-1.013*10^5 pa$

$P_r=0.487*10^5 pa$

Generally the equation for Force exerted by screw F is give as is mathematically given by

$F = P*A\\F = 0.487*10^5*4.00*10^-4\\ F = 19.48 N$

$F \approx 19.5 N$

A space probe produces a radio signal pulse. If the pulse reaches Earth 12.3 seconds after it is emitted by the probe, what is t

adoni [48]

Answer:

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

The distance from the probe to Earth is 3.69 × 10^9 m

Explanation:

Distance from the probe to the Earth can be derived using the simple motion formula;

Distance = speed × time .....1

Since a radio signal uses an electromagnetic wave to transfer signal, it has the same speed as the speed of light.

Speed of radio signal = speed of light = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

time taken to reach the earth = 12.3 seconds

Substituting the values of speed and time into equation 1;

Distance = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s × 12.3 s

Distance = 36.9 × 10^8 m

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

Note: all electromagnetic radiation have the same speed which is equal to 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

A bicycle is ridden along a horizontal road with a driving force of 400, n,400n. its speed is constant at 12, m, slash, s,12m/s.

mr_godi [17]

The magnitude of the sum of the frictional forces acting on the bike and its rider is 400N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

The friction force is the opposing force which acts on the object which is in relative motion.

The driving force is equal and opposite to the friction force acting between road and bicycle.

Friction force = 400N

The friction force between rider and bike is zero.

So the magnitude of sum of friction force = 400N +0 = 400N

Thus, the magnitude of the sum of the frictional forces acting on the bike and its rider.
