Question:
How do mountain glaciers and continental glaciers differ in terms of dimensions, thickness and patterns of movement?

Answer:
<span>
Continental glaciers are thicker, much more expansive sheets. Mountain glaciers flow downhill as a result of gravity acting on the mass of ice. Continental glaciers move in response to pressure from the weight of material in their thick midsections.

A muon has a rest mass energy of 105.7 MeV, and it decays into an electron and a massless particle. If all the lost mass is conv

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rest mass energy of muon = 105.7 MeV

We know the rest mass of electron = 0.511 Mev

We need to calculate the value of γ

Using formula of energy

$K_{rel}=(\gamma-1)mc^2$

$\dfrac{K_{rel}}{mc^2}=\gamma-1$

Put the value into the formula

$\gamma=\dfrac{105.7}{0.511}+1$

$\gamma=208$

We need to calculate the electron’s velocity

Using formula of velocity

$\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}$

$\gamma^2=\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\gamma^2-\gamma^2\times\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}=1$

$v^2=\dfrac{1-\gamma^2}{-\gamma^2}\times c^2$

Put the value into the formula

$v^2=\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}\times c^2$

$v=c\sqrt{\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}}$

$v=0.9999 c\ m/s$

Hence, The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

20. The speed of Light is 3.0 x 108 m/s. Blue Light has a frequency of 6.11 x 1014 Hz. What is its wavelength?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

the applicable formula is

v = fλ

where

v = velocity (i.e speed) = given as 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency = given asw 6.11 x 10¹⁴

λ = wavelength

if we rearrange the equation and substitute the values given above,

v = fλ

λ = v/f

= 3.0 x 10⁸ / 6.11 x 10¹⁴

= 4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m
