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

If a car changes its velocity from 32 km/hr to 54 km/hr in 8.0 seconds, what is its acceleration?
Stella [2.4K]
Use the equation for the acceleration
A = final velocity - initial velocity divided by time final - time initial
A= 54 - 32 / 8 - 0
A= 22 / 8 
A= 2.75 m/s^2 
Hope this helps!

4 Suggest four ways in which participating in physical activities can build healthy relationship? 5.Show in two ways the influeb
valina [46]

Answer:

  • Increases levels of well-being neurotransmitters
  • Improves fitness
  • Improves mental health
  • Reduces the risk of developing diseases

Explanation:

Performing physical activities helps to build a healthy relationship with yourself, in the sense that physical activity promotes health at all levels. Health is a set of physical, mental and social well-being, so physical activity reaches all these levels and increases the quality of life for a person as a whole.

There are several types of physical activities that can be performed and you can choose the one that best fits your preferences and routine. A walk for example can be done in any safe place and at any time and it already helps in improving physical conditioning, in receiving serotonin and endorphins, in reducing blood pressure and protecting the heart and in improving mental health.

So the ideal is for each person to set their own goals in relation to their health and seek to achieve them, either to have a better quality of life, to socialize more with people, to prevent diseases, etc.

Consider a bicycle wheel to be a ring of radius 30 cm and mass 1.5 kg. Neglect the mass of the axle and sprocket. If a force of
vredina [299]

Answer:

The angular speed after 6s  is \omega = 1466.67s^{-1}.

Explanation:

The equation

I\alpha  = Fd

relates the moment of inertia I of a rigid body, and its angular acceleration \alpha, with the force applied F at a distance d from the axis of rotation.

In our case, the force applied is F = 22N, at a distance d = 6cm =0.06m, to a ring with the moment of inertia of I =mr^2; therefore, the angular acceleration is

$\alpha =\frac{Fd}{I} $

$\alpha =\frac{22N*0.06m}{(1.5kg)*(0.06)^2} $

\alpha  = 244.44\: s^{-2}

Therefore, the angular speed \omega which is

\omega  = \alpha t

after 6 seconds is

\omega = 244.44$\: s^{-2}* 6s

\boxed{\omega = 1466.67s^{-1}}
