A muon is produced by a collision between a cosmic ray and an oxygen nucleus in the upper atmosphere at an altitude of 50 . It t

ravels vertically downward to the surface of the Earth where it arrives with a total energy of 178 . The rest energy of a muon is 105.7 . What is the kinetic energy of a muon at the surface

STALIN [3.7K]4 years ago

Answer:

72.3 MeV

Explanation:

E = Total energy of muon = 178 MeV

E_0 = Rest energy of a muon = 105.7 MeV

Kinetic energy of the muon at the surface of the Earth is given by the difference of the total energy and the rest energy of the muon

K=E-E_0\\\Rightarrow K=178-105.7\\\Rightarrow K=72.3\ MeV

The kinetic energy of a muon at the surface is 72.3 MeV

A bird flying straight upward at 5 m/s drops a berry when it is 300 m above the ground. How fast is the berry going when it hits
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

v=77.62 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

h= - 300 m

speed of the bird ,u= 5 m/s

Lets take Speed of the berry when it hit the ground = v m/s

we know that ,if object is moving upward

v² = u² - 2 g h

u=Initial speed

v=Final speed

h=Height

Now by putting the values

v² = u² - 2 g h

v² = 5² - 2 x 10 x (-300)                ( take g = 10 m/s²)

v² =25 + 20 x 300

v² ==25 + 6000

v² =6025

v=77.62 m/s

Therefore the final speed of the berry will be 77.62 m/s.

If the IMA of a machine is 2 and the effort force is 50 newtons, then the force applied to the resistance is _____. 48 N 50 N 25
zysi [14]

IMA stands for ideal mechanical advantage, which is the theoretical force amplification factor on an ideal mechanical device free of friction, deformations, etc.


If the applied force (effort) is 50N, then the force applied to the resistance is multiplied by the IMA=2 to get 100N.

Anyone know how this work ?? <br> If u know help me it is an exam
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

D) This is the correct answer

Explanation:

In this exercise the two ball loads are suspended by a thread.

To answer this exercise, let us remember that charges of the same sign repel and charges of a different sign attract.

Therefore, for the system to maintain equilibrium, the two charges must be of the same sign.

When examining the different proposals

A) in this case, as a sphere has no charge, there is no electric force and the induced charge is of the opposite sign, so the spheres attract each other

B) in this case there is an electric force, but being of a different sign, the force is attractive so the system is not in equilibrium

C) as the charges are of different magnitude the system does not have equal angles

D) This is the correct answer, since the charges have the same magnitude and are of the same sign, so the force is repulsive and is counteracted by the weight component

             F_e = W sin θ
