What does a mu mean in physics

Physics
1 answer:
ivolga24 [154]4 years ago
3 0

'mu' is a letter in the Greek alphabet.  It looks like this:  μ
If you need labels for quantities or variables in math or science,
you can use any letter from any alphabet you like ... just be sure
to explain what the symbol stands for somewhere on the page
where the equation or formula is.

I've seen 'mu' used to stand for 'micro-' when writing units.
For example:

" μ-meter " ... one millionth of a meter

" μ-farad " ... one millionth of a farad

" μ-second " ... one millionth of a second

Prob. 3: Manifestation of quantum phenomena (total 25 points) (a)-(e) 5 points each.
TEA [102]

Answer:

3A. This phenomenon can be seen in the discrete emission of the molecules.

3B. The emotion of the atoms is observed, from states high in energy to a state of minimum energy that is stable indefinitely.

3C. When an electron beam passes through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, it is divided into only two beams

3D. This is due to the stimulated emission

3E. The penetration of a potential barrier is observed in the radioactive emission of heavy atoms, where an alpha particle (Helium nucleus)

Explanation:

This problem asks for some experimental explanations of various quantum phenomena.

3A. This phenomenon can be seen in the discrete emission of the molecules.

In the classical explanation all states or energies are allowed, therefore when emitting energy (photons) there should be a continuum, this is not observed

In the correct quantum explanation only some states are allowed, therefore the emission must be discrete, which is observed in the emission or absorption of molecules and atoms

3B. The emotion of the atoms is observed, from states high in energy to a state of minimum energy that is stable indefinitely.

The incorrect classical explanation that if the minimum energy was zero the electrons cannot rotate around the nuclei and the atom collapses, this does not happen

3C. When an electron beam passes through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, it is divided into only two beams, which is evidence of the existence of two discrete states that we call spin, remember that a free electron beam has zero angular momentum.

3D. This is due to the stimulated emission that occurs when a photon passes through the emission zone, causing the atoms to have transitions and these emitted photons have the same initial photon location, the laser beam all photons are in phase and therefore it is coherent .

This is widely used for holographic and interference work

3E. The penetration of a potential barrier is observed in the radioactive emission of heavy atoms, where an alpha particle (Helium nucleus) leaves the atomic nucleus penetrating the barrier since its energy is lower than the nuclear barrier potential.

a motorcyclist starts from rest and accelerates at rate of 4 meters per second squared north. what is the final velocity of the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

80m<em>/</em><em>s</em>

Explanation:

Final velocity is given by

v=u+at

when a motorcyclist starts from rest, initial velocity (u) =0

therefore

v=0+4*20

v=80m/s

that's the answer

A typical cell has a membrane potential of -70 , meaning that the potential inside the cell is 70 less than the potential outsid
Oxana [17]

Answer:

energy is stored is 2.2 × 10⁻¹³ J

Explanation:

The capacitance  of the cell is given with the expression

C = (KE₀A) / d

k is the dielectric constant, A is the area of the cell, d is the thickness of the cell.

Now given that; the diameter is 50,

Area A = 4πR²

A = 4π × ( 25 × 10⁻⁶ m)²

A = 7850×10⁻¹² m²

our capacitance C = (KE₀A) / d

C = [9 ( 8.85 × 10⁻¹² C²/N.m²  × 7850×10⁻¹² m² )] / 7×10⁻⁹ m

C = 8.93 × 10⁻¹¹ F

Now Energy stored

E = 1/2 × CV²

E = 1/2 × (8.93 × 10⁻¹¹ F) × ( 70 × 10⁻³ V)²

E = 2.2 × 10⁻¹³ J

Therefore energy is stored is 2.2 × 10⁻¹³ J
