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

Why is it that the two possible faults with inductors are short circuit and open circuit?
lukranit [14]
These are the most common type of faults not just inductors but also with other elements too like resistors,transformers, generators etc.
open circuit fault means the flow of current is disrupted some how in the circuit and the circuit stops operating. and for short circuit fault the current in the system will be pretty high and this short circuit current or fault current will always run back to the fault location, if the inductor got short circuited somehow then the fault current will only run through it because it will then provide a very low impedence path

A small spinning asteroid is in a circular orbit around a star, much like the earth's motion around our sun. The asteroid has a
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Temperature will be 305 K  

Explanation:

We have given The asteroid has a surface area A=7.70m^2

Power absorbed P = 3800 watt

Boltzmann constant \sigma =5.67\times 10^{-8}Wm/K^4

According to Boltzmann rule power radiated is given by

P=\sigma AT^4

3800=5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 7.70\times T^4

T^4=87.0381\times 10^8

T=305K

So temperature will be 305 K

Using examples, explain why the first and second Newton laws of motion are significant for living organisms.
Triss [41]

Answer:

1) Newton's first law of motion states an object will remain at rest or in uniform will be in uniform motion in a straight line unless a force acts on it

2) Newton's second law states the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the applied force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

1) With Newton's first law, we are able arrange things within a space and schedule meetings in time knowing that they will remain in place unless an external force changes their positions

2) An example of Newton's second law of motion is that small objects such as a ball are easily accelerated and can be given appreciable acceleration for flight by single, one time contact (such as kicking the ball) while larger objects such as a rock require sustained force application to change their location.
