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

What describes Newton’s law of universal gravitation
VikaD [51]

Newton's law of universal gravitation gives the gravitational force between two objects:

F = GMm/r²

F = gravitational force, G = gravitational constant, M & m are the masses of the two objects, r = distance between the objects

Consider the magnetic field (B) of a wire with a constant current (I). A Magnetic Field sensor is placed at a radius (r). Will t
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

No, the magnitude of the magnetic field won't change.

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a wire with a constant current is circular and its flow is given by the right-hand rule. Since this field is circular with center on the wire the magnitude of the magnetic field around the wire will be given by B = [(\mi_0)*I]/(2\pi*r) where (\mi_0) is a constant, I is the current that goes through the conductor and r is the distance from the wire. If the field sensor will move around the wire with a fixed radius the distance from the wire won't change so the magnitude of the field won't change.

In which list below do the experimental steps appear in the order in which they are done?
fgiga [73]
The answer is B . You begin with a purpose for the lab, then hypothesize on what you believe will happen. Next, follow the procedures. This is always the last step, Anatoly did. Reflect upon you hypothesis, did the lab support or disprove your hypothesis. Include observations you have made. Identify errors.
