568 muons were counted by a detector on the top of Mount Washington in a one hour period of time. Assuming moving muons keep tim

e at the same rate as stationary muons, then 27 should survive until sea level. The fact that 412 muons were detected by the same equipment at sea level reveals that
A. the stationary clock measures time differently at different altitudes
B. the moving clocks keep time at the same rate as stationary clocks
C. that moving clocks run slower
D. that moving clocks run faster

Explanation:

The fact that 412 muons were detected by the same equipment at sea level reveals that moving clocks run slower. This is due to the reason of time dilation.

The time dilation slow down time with respect to external observer. The time dilation is caused due to the force of gravity and the velocity with which the object is moving.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "moving clocks run slower".

What is the magnitude and direction (right or left) of the
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: 12 N to the right

Explanation:

If we calculate the net force acting on the box, we will have:

<u>In y-component:</u>

Fy_{net}=F_{n}+F_{g} (1)

Where F_{n}=12 N is the Normal force, directed upwards and F_{g}=-12 N is the weight of the box (gravity force), directed downwards.

Fy_{net}=12 N-12 N (2)

Fy_{net}=0 N (3) Hence the net force in the vertical component is zero

<u>In x-component:</u>

Fx_{net}=F_{left}+F_{right} (4)

Where F_{left}=-3 N and F_{right}= 15 N

Fx_{net}=-3 N + 15 N (5)

Fx_{net}=12 N (6) This is the net force in the horizontal component

Therefore, the total net force acting on the box is 12 N directed to the right

A box of mass 3.1kg slides down a rough vertical wall. The gravitational force on the box is 30N . When the box reaches a speed
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The box will be moving at 0.45m/s. The solution to this problem requires the knowledge and application of newtons second law of motion and the knowledge of linear motion. The vertical component of the force Fp acts vertically upwards against the directio of motion. This causes a constant upward force of 23sin45° to act on the box. Fhe frictional force of 13N also acts vertically upwards and so two forces act upwards against rhe force of gravity resulting un a net force of 0.7N acting kn the box. This corresponds to an acceleration of 0.225m/s². So in w.0s after i start to push v = 0.45m/s.
