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

Argon, atomic number 18, has an atomic weight of 39.9. Potassium, atomic number 19, has an atomic weight of 39.1. Which of these
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Atomic weight is measured by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Argon's atomic number is 18 while potassium's is 19. This means that Argon will always have 18 protons while potassium will always have 19 protons.

To make the numbers easier to work with, round each atomic weight. We'll say the atomic weight of potassium is 39 and the atomic weight of argon is 40. To see how many neutrons each one has, I can set up a simple equation for each using the following equation:

Atomic weight = protons + neutrons

Potassium:

39 = 19 + N  -->  N = 20

Argon:

40 = 18 + N  -->  N = 22

An atom is defined by the number of protons it has, but the number of neutrons can vary. We call these isotopes, or atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. As the math shows, argon typically has more neutrons per atom than potassium does.

gayle cooks a roast in her microwave oven. the klystron tube in the oven emits photons whose energy is 1.20 x 10^-3 ev. what are
AveGali [126]

Answer:

\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of the microwave oven is 1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV.

We need to find the wavelength of these photons.

1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV=1.2\times 10^{-3}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\=1.92\times 10^{-22}\ J

The energy of a wave is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}

Put all the values,

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.92\times 10^{-22}}\\\\\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m

So, the wavelength of these photon is 1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m.

A system of pulleys is used to raise a load of bricks that weighs 1,700 newtons. The force applied to the pulley is 340 newtons.
Law Incorporation [45]
By definition, we have that the mechanical advantage is given by the following equation:
 MA =  \frac{W}{T} 

 Where,
 W: is the load
 T: is the tension
 Substituting the values in the given equation we have:
 MA = \frac{1700}{340}
 MA = 5

 Therefore, the mechanical advantage is equal to 5.
 Answer:
 The mechanical advantage of this machine is:
 MA = 5

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion?
Mashutka [201]
-2. This is because it is gaining electrons. Electrons are negative. Therefore it is a negative charge.
