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 4.00-m long rod is hinged at one end. The rod is initially held in the horizontal position, and then released as the free end
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The angular acceleration α = 14.7 rad/s²

Explanation:

The torque on the rod τ = Iα where I = moment of inertia of rod = mL²/12 where m =mass of rod  and L = length of rod = 4.00 m. α = angular acceleration of rod

Also, τ = Wr where W = weight of rod = mg and r = center of mass of rod = L/2.

So Iα = Wr

Substituting the value of the variables, we have

mL²α/12 = mgL/2

Simplifying by dividing through by mL, we have

mL²α/12mL = mgL/2mL

Lα/12 = g/2

multiplying both sides by 12, we have

Lα/12 × 12 = g/2 × 12

αL = 6g

α = 6g/L

α = 6 × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4.00 m

α = 58.8 m/s² ÷ 4.00 m

α = 14.7 rad/s²

So, the angular acceleration α = 14.7 rad/s²

The transverse standing wave on a string fixed at both ends is vibrating at its fundamental frequency of 250 Hz. What would be t
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

fundamental frequency, f = 250 Hz

Let T be the tension in the string and length of the string is l ans m be the mass of the string initially.

the formula for the frequency is given by

f=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{Tl}{m}}    .... (1)

Now the length is doubled ans the tension is four times but the mass remains same.

let the frequency is f'

f'=\frac{1}{2\times 2l}\sqrt{\frac{4T\times 2l}{m}}    .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1)

f' = √2 x f

f' = 1.414 x 250

f' = 353.5 Hz

A vw beetle goes from 0 to 60 mi/h with an acceleration of 2.35 m/s^2.
Vlad1618 [11]
Part a.
u = 0, the initial velocity
v = 60 mi/h, the final velocity
a = 2.35 m/s², the acceleration.

Note that
1 m = 1609.34 m.
Therefore
v = (60 mi/h)*(1609.34 m/mi)*(1/3600 h/s) = 26.822 m/s
Use the formula
v = u + at
(26.822 m/s) = (2.35 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 26.822/2.35 = 11.4 s

Answer: 11.4 s

Part b.
We already determined that v = 60 mi/h = 26.822 m/s.
t = 0.6 s
Therefore
(26.822 m/s) = (a m/s²)*(0.6 s)
a = 26.822/0.6 = 44.7 m/s²

Answer:  44.7 m/s²
