Same reason we don't fall into the Sun<span>. We are ... On the other hand, it </span>doesn't crash into the Earth<span> because it has a tangential velocity (like swinging a yo-yo around yourself).</span>

9.58 A spring of equilibrium length L1 and spring constant k1 hangs from the ceiling. Mass m1 is suspended from its lower end. T

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The distance of m2 from the ceiling is L1 +L2 + m1g/k1 + m2g/k1 + m2g/k2.

See attachment below for full solution

Explanation:

This is so because the the attached mass m1 on the spring causes the first spring to stretch by a distance of m1g/k1 (hookes law). This plus the equilibrium lengtb of the spring gives the position of the mass m1 from the ceiling. The second mass mass m2 causes both springs 1 and 2 to stretch by an amout proportional to its weight just like above. The respective stretchings are m2g/k1 for spring 1 and m2g/k2 for spring 2. These plus the position of m1 and the equilibrium length of spring 2 L2 gives the distance of L2 from the ceiling.

A high-speed K0 meson is traveling at β = 0.90 when it decays into a π + and a π − meson. What are the greatest and least speeds

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

greatest speed=0.99c

least speed=0.283c

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to go to frame of center of mass.

Total available energy fo π + and π - mesons will be difference in their rest energy:

$E_{0,K_{0} }-2E_{0,\pi } =497Mev-2*139.5Mev\\$

=218 Mev

now we have to assume that both meson have same kinetic energy so each will have K=109 Mev from following equation for kinetic energy we have,

K=(γ-1) $E_{0,\pi }$

$K=E_{0,\pi}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\beta ^{2} } } -1)\\\frac{1}\sqrt{1-\beta ^{2} }}=\frac{K}{E_{0,\pi}}+1\\ {1-\beta ^{2}=\frac{1}{(\frac{K}{E_{0,\pi}}+1)^2}}\\\beta ^{2}=1-\frac{1}{(\frac{K}{E_{0,\pi}}+1)^2}}\\\beta = +-\sqrt{\frac{1}{(\frac{K}{E_{0,\pi}}+1)^2}}\\\\\\beta =+-\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{(\frac{109Mev}{139.5Mev+1)^2}}$

$u'=+-0.283c$

note +-=±

To find speed least and greatest speed of meson we would use relativistic velocity addition equations:

$u=\frac{u'+v}{1+\frac{v}{c^{2} } } u'\\u_{max} =\frac{u'_{+} +v_{} }{1+\frac{v}{c^{2} } } u'_{+} \\u_{max} =\frac{0.828c +0.9c }{1+\frac{0.9c}{c^{2} } } 0.828\\ u_{max} =0.99c\\u_{min} =\frac{u'_{-} +v_{} }{1+\frac{v}{c^{2} } } u'_{-}\\u_{min} =\frac{-0.828c +0.9c }{1+\frac{0.9c}{c^{2} } } -0.828c\\u_{min} =0.283c$

Which of the following statements best explains why liquid water is NOT found on Jupiter?

agasfer [191]

Answer:

The planet lacks a solid surface and the temperature is too low

Explanation:

Jupiter does not have solid surface as it is made up of swirling gases, mainly hydrogen(90%) and helium(~10%). The swirl comes from massive wind with speed of 335 miles/hour. The temperature in cloud of Jupiter is 145°C which is too low for water to remain in liquid state as the temperature range for liquid water is 0°C to 100°C.
