Answer:

The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rest mass energy of muon = 105.7 MeV

We know the rest mass of electron = 0.511 Mev

We need to calculate the value of γ

Using formula of energy

K_{rel}=(\gamma-1)mc^2

\dfrac{K_{rel}}{mc^2}=\gamma-1

Put the value into the formula

\gamma=\dfrac{105.7}{0.511}+1

\gamma=208

We need to calculate the electron’s velocity

Using formula of velocity

\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}

\gamma^2=\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

\gamma^2-\gamma^2\times\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}=1

v^2=\dfrac{1-\gamma^2}{-\gamma^2}\times c^2

Put the value into the formula

v^2=\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}\times c^2

v=c\sqrt{\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}}

v=0.9999 c\ m/s

Hence, The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

To model time-variant data, one must create a new entity in an m:n relationship with the original entity.
Ksenya-84 [330]

To model time-variant data, one must create a new entity in an m:n relationship with the original entity, is a False statement.

  • Like the majority of software engineering initiatives, the ER process begins with gathering user requirements. What information must be retained, what questions must be answered, and what business rules must be implemented (For instance, if the manager column in the DEPARTMENT table is the only column, we have simply committed to having one manager for each department.)
  • The end result of the E-R modeling procedure is an E-R diagram that can be roughly mechanically transformed into a set of tables. Tables will represent both entities and relationships; entity tables frequently have a single primary key, but the primary key for relationship tables nearly invariably involves numerous characteristics.

insens350 [35]

Venus is called Earth's "Twin" because Earth and Venus have almost the same mass, size, similar composition and they are neighboring planets. Some of most notable differences though between the two planets are their color, temperature, Earth's ability to support life and their atmosphere. Venus' atmosphere is about 100x thicker than Earth's, Earth can support life while Venus can not because Earth has water and plant life and Earth is a bright blue and green while Venus is more orange and red.
