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.

A wheel is used to turn a valve stem on a water valve. How much is the mechanical advantage when an effort of 80 lbs. is applied
Ann [662]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Effort (E) = 80 lbs

Load (L) = 320 lbs

Mechanical advantage (MA) =?

Mechanical advantage is simply defined as the ratio of load to effort. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Mechanical advantage = Load / Effort

MA = L / E

With the above formula, we can obtain the mechanical advantage as illustrated below:

Effort (E) = 80 lbs

Load (L) = 320 lbs

Mechanical advantage (MA) =?

MA = L / E

MA = 320 / 80

MA = 4

Thus, the mechanical advantage is 4

The froghopper Philaenus spumarius is supposedly the best jumper in the animal kingdom. To start a jump, this insect can acceler
Kay [80]

Answer:

Part a)

v_f = 4 m/s

Part b)

t = 0.001 s

Part c)

d = 0.815 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that initially the grass hopper is at rest at the ground position

Now the acceleration is given as

a = 4000 m/s^2

distance of the legs that it stretched is given as

s = 2.0 mm

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 0 = 2(4000)(0.002)

v_f = 4 m/s

Part b)

time taken to reach this speed is given as

v_f - v_i = at

4 - 0 = 4000 t

t = 0.001 s

Part c)

as the grass hopper reach the maximum height its final speed would be zero

so we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 4^2 = 2(-9.81) d

d = 0.815 m
