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

Convection currents produce the heat in the Earth’s interior.
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Convection currents do not produce heat. In fact, convection current are a method of transfer of heat, not of production. Convection occurs when there is a fluid which is heated from bottom, from an external source of heat (such as a pot of boiling water over a flame): the bottom part of the fluid becomes warmer, and so less dense than the colder part, therefore it starts moving up, and it is replaced by the colder parts of the fluid, which go down. Later, these colder parts become warmer, so they start going up, being replaced by new colder parts, etc... in a cycle. This is known as convection current, but it requires an external source of heat, it does not produce heat by itself.

A fixed system of charges exerts a force of magnitude 22 N on a 4.0 C charge. The 4.0 C charge is replaced with a 8.0 C charge.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

44 N

Explanation:

The electrostatic forces between two charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is their separation

We notice that the force is directly proportional to the charges.

In this problem, initially we have a force of

F = 22 N

on a q2 = 4.0 C, exerted by a charge q1.

If the charge is doubled,

q2 = 8.0 C

This means that the force will also double, so it will be

F=22 N \cdot 2 = 44 N

(I) In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second pro
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

Explanation:

In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:  

v = \frac{m + M}{m} \cdot \sqrt{2gh}

<em>where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum.   </em>

To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:    

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\frac{m_{2} + M}{m_{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{2}}}{\frac{m_{1} + M}{m_{1}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{1}}}           (1)

<em>where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively.  </em>

Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{h_{2}}}{\sqrt{h_{1}}}  

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{5.2 cm}}{\sqrt{2.6 cm}}

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = 1.41  

Therefore, the second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.  

I hope it helps you!

What is the current through a 25 ohm resistor connected to a 5.0 V power supply? a 0.20 A b 5.0 A c 25 A d 30 A
zysi [14]
~Formula: Voltage= current• resistance
(V= Ir)
~Using this formula, plug in the numbers from the equation into the formula
~5=25i
~Now you have a one-step equation
~Divide by 25 on both sides and you should get your answer:
~I= 0.2 (which means current is 0.2)
