How do you get a tachyionic particle and how are they faster than light

<span>Tachyons are studied in an area called particle physics, and I must say this is a bit out of my league, but I'll give you some general thoughts. Tachyons are hypothetical particles resulting from what physicists call a thought experiment. Back in the 1960s, some physicists wondered what would happen if matter could travel faster than the speed of light, something that is supposed to be impossible according to the Theory of Relativity. So these particles may or may not exist because they have not been proven or disproven by real experiment as of yet. What people have done is apply existing formulas to the unique properties of tachyons (like imaginary mass!). What comes out is a particles that go faster when they lose energy with a MINIMUM velocity of the speed of light and a maximum velocity of infinity! Hope that helps Ben, theoretical physics is a weird place and is not too far off from philosophy.</span>

A gas expands and does PV work on its surroundings equal to 319 J. At the same time, it absorbs 136 J of heat from the surroundi
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The change in energy of the gas during the process is -1.83\times 10^{2} joules.

Explanation:

We can represent this process by the First Law of Thermodynamics, in which gas does work on its surroundings and absorbs heat from there to describe its change in energy. In other words:

Q_{in} - W_{out} = \Delta E

Where:

Q_{in} - Heat absorbed by the gas, measured in joules.

W_{out} - Work done by the gas, measured in joules.

\Delta E - Change in energy, measured in joules.

If we know that Q_{in} = 1.36\times 10^{2}\,J and W_{out} = 3.19\times 10^{2}\,J, the change in energy of the gas is:

\Delta E = 1.36\times 10^{2}\,J-3.19\times 10^{2}\,J

\Delta E = -1.83\times 10^{2}\,J

The change in energy of the gas during the process is -1.83\times 10^{2} joules.

A ray of laser light travels through air and enters an unknown material. The laser enters the material at an angle of 36 degrees
V125BC [204]

Answer:1.27

Explanation:

Given

incident angle i=36^{\circ}

refracted angle r=27.5^{\circ}

Suppose n_2 is the refractive index of material then using Snell's law we  can write

n_1\sin i=n_2\sin r

where n_1=refractive index of air

1\times \sin (36)=n_2\times \sin (27.5)

n_2=\dfrac{0.5877}{0.4617}

n_2=1.27

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Namely, they are:

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged particles (and between magnetic fields). The force can be either attractive (if the two charges have opposite signs) or repulsive (if the two charges have same sign), and it acts over an infinite range.

- Gravitational force: it is the force exerted between objects with mass. It is always attractive, and it also has an infinite range of action. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that acts between protons and neutrons inside the nucleus, and it is responsible for keeping the nucleus together and preventing it from breaking apart (due to the electrostatic repulsion between protons)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certains nuclear decays, such as the beta decay, in which a neutron turns into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.
