The Z0 boson, discovered in 1985, is the mediator of the weak nuclear force, and it typically decays very quickly. Its average r

est energy is 91.19 GeV, but its short lifetime shows up as an intrinsic width of 2.5 GeV. what is the lifetime of this particle?

Answer:

The lifetime of the particle is  \Delta  t  =  2.6*10^{-25} \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The average rest energy is E =  91.19 \ GeV =  91.19GeV  *    \frac{1.60 *10^{-10} J }{1GeV} = 1.46 *10^{-8}J

    The intrinsic width is  \Delta E  =2.5eV  = 2.5GeV   *  \frac{1.60 *10^{-10}J  }{1GeV}  =  4*10^{-10} J

The lifetime is mathematically represented as

     \Delta  t  =  \frac{h}{\Delta E}

Where h is the Planck's constant with a value of  1.055*10^{-34} \ J\cdot s  

substituting values

    \Delta  t  =  \frac{1.055*10^{-34}}{4 *10^{-10}}

     \Delta  t  =  2.6*10^{-25} \ s

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

0.96 m

Explanation:

First, convert km/h to m/s.

162.3 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 45.08 m/s

Now find the time it takes to move 20 m horizontally.

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

20 m = (45.08 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

t = 0.4436 s

Finally, find how far the ball falls in that time.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (0.4436 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (0.4436 s)²

Δy = -0.96 m

The ball will have fallen 0.96 meters.

What are potential impacts of pollution on a watershed? Check all that apply.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

contaminated drinking water

deaths of sea creatures that are used as a food source

limits to potential economic activities such as a fishing

Explanation:

A watershed is a large area that comprises of drainage area of all the surrounding water bodies meeting at a common affluence point before draining into sea or ocean or any other large water body. Pollution in this area can pollute the small water streams flowing through it, thereby polluting the larger water body into which it drains.  

Thus, the water extracted for drinking from such area will be contaminated. Pollution in larger water body can cause death of water creature and hence pose a threat to fishing.

A(n) 0.2 kg object is swung in a vertical circular path on a string 0.1 m long. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . If a c
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

T=83.37N

Explanation:

Since the object is under a circular motion, according to Newton's second law, when the object is at the top of the circle we have:

\sum F_y: T-mg=F_c

Where F_c is the centripetal force and is given by:

F_c=ma_c=m\frac{v^2}{r}

Replacing and solving for T:

T=m\frac{v^2}{r}+mg\\T=0.2kg\frac{(6.38\frac{m}{s})^2}{0.1m}+0.2kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\T=83.37N
