A group of scientists decide to repeat the muon decay experiment (TR Section 2.7) at the Mauna Kea telescope site in Hawaii, whi

ch is 4205 m above sea level. They count 104 muons during a certain time period. Find the classical and relativistic number of muons expected at sea level and compare. Why did they decide to count as many as 104 muons instead of only 103 ?

Answer:They decided to count 10000 muons because of classical predictions. When you count 1000 initial muons.they would expect only 1.5 muons

Explanation:

t= 4205/0.98 = 1.43×10^-5sec

Classically,number of surviving muons= No exp(-0.693t/t)

N=10^4exp[(-0.694×(1.43×10^-5)/1.52×10-6)]

N= 14.7=15

Relativistic time t'=t/y

t'=(1.43×10^-5)×sqrt(1-(0.98c)^2/c^2

t'=2.84×10^-6secs

N= 10^4exp[(-0.693×(3.84×10^-6)/1.52×10^-6]

N relativistic=2739

A particle moving in simple harmonic motion with a period T = 1.5 s passes through the equilibrium point at time t0 = 0 with a v
ch4aika [34]

Answer

given,

Time period= T = 1.5 s

If it's moving through equilibrium point at t₀= 0 with v = 1.0 m/s

v_max=1.00 m/s

we know,

v_ max=A ω  

v = A sin (ωt)

-0.50= -1.00 sin (ωt)

sin (ωt)  =  0.5

\omega t = sin^{-1}(0.5)

\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\times t =0.524

\dfrac{2\pi}{1.5}\times t =0.524

t = 0.125 s

we have time period T=1.5 it is the time to complete one oscillation

means from eq to right,then left,then eq,then left,then from right to eq

time taken for left = t/4 = 0.125/4 = 0.375 s

smallest value of time

=0.375 + 0.125

= 0.50 sec
