4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Muons in the atmosphere, a component of cosmic rays. Atmospheric muons are an essential component of cosmic ray showers. When a high energy primary particle coming from space collides with a nucleus of the upper atmosphere, it generates a spray of particles which later interact in their turn.

An astronaut on an alien planet drops a rock into a crater which is 100 meters deep. The rock hits the bottom of the crater 4 se
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height or depth of crater = 100 m

Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s

t = time = 4 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²

g = (200 m)/(16 s²)

g = 12.5 m/s²

on earth:

ge = 9.8 m/s²

Since,

ge < g

Therefore,

<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>

An electric motor rotates 60 times per second if the alternating current source is 60 Hz. How many times will an electric motor
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

180,000

Explanation:

Frequency is a quantity that is measured in Hertz [Hz] and it represents the number of rotations per second.

A motor with a frequency of 50 Hz will rotate 50 times per second.

Since we don't want to know how many times it rotates per second, but per hour. The first step is to find how many seconds there are in an hour and then multiply that amount by 50.

Seconds in an hour:

there are 60 seconds per minute, and 60 minutes per hour, thus there are

60*60 = <u>3,600 seconds in an hour</u>

We know that the motor will rotate 50 times per second so to find the number of rotations in 1 hour =  3,600 seconds we multiply:

50*3,600 = 180,000 rotations

A tennis ball is dropped from a height of 3 m and bounces back to a height of
julsineya [31]

Answer:

To decide where the balls land, we need to determine how long the balls are in the air. Both balls will take 2 seconds to hit the ground.

Explanation:

1) Time played forward : gravity & drag forces are in opposite directions so it takes a longer time to reach the ground. 2) Time played backward : gravity & drag forces are in the same direction so it takes a shorter time to reach the ground.
