A cosmic ray muon with mass mμ = 1.88 ✕ 10−28 kg impacting the Earth's atmosphere slows down in proportion to the amount of matt

er it passes through. One such particle, initially traveling at 2.40 ✕ 106 m/s in a straight line, decreases in speed to 1.56 ✕ 106 m/s over a distance of 1.22 km.
(a) What is the magnitude of the force experienced by the muon?
(b) How does this force compare to the weight of the muon?

Answer:

a. the magnitude of the force experienced by the muon is 2.55 × 10⁻¹⁹N

b.  this force compare to the weight of the muon; the force is 1.38 × 10⁸ greater than muon

Explanation:

F= ma

v²=u² -2aS

(1.56 ✕ 10⁶)²=(2.40 ✕ 10⁶)²-2a(1220)

a=1.36×10⁹m/s²

recall

F=ma

F = 1.88 ✕ 10⁻²⁸ kg × 1.36×10⁹m/s²

F= 2.55 × 10⁻¹⁹N

the magnitude of the force experienced by the muon is 2.55 × 10⁻¹⁹N

b.  this force compare to the weight of the muon

F/mg= 2.55 × 10⁻¹⁹/ (1.88 ✕ 10⁻²⁸ × 9.8)

= 1.38 × 10⁸

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

  • quality factor (Q) = 69.99
  • inductor = 1.591 x 10⁻⁴ H
  • capacitor = 3.248 x 10⁻¹⁰ F

Explanation:

Given;

resonance frequency (F₀) = 700 kHz

resistor, R =  10 Ohm

bandwidth (BW) = 10 kHz

bandwidth (BW)  = \frac{R}{2\pi L}

BW = \frac{R}{2\pi L}

make L (inductor) the subject of the formula

L = \frac{R}{2\pi *BW}  =  \frac{10}{2\pi *10,000} =1.591 *10^{-4} \ H = \ 0.1591\ mH

F_o =\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC} } \\\\\sqrt{LC} = \frac{1}{2\pi F_o} \\\\LC = \frac{1}{4\pi ^2F_o^2}= \frac{1}{4\pi ^2(700,000)^2} = 5.168*10^{-14}

make C (capacitor)  the subject of the formula

C = \frac{5.168*10^{-14}}{1.591*10^{-4}} = 3.248*10^{-10} \ F = \ 3.248*10^{-4} \ \mu F

quality factor (Q) = \frac{1}{R} \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}} \ = \frac{1}{10} \sqrt{\frac{1.591*10^{-4}}{3.248*10^{-10}}}=69.99

quality factor (Q) =  69.99

Take the mechanical equivalent of heat as 4 J/cal. A 10-g bullet moving at 2000 m/s plunges
klasskru [66]

Assuming that all the bullet’s energy heats the paraffin, its final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of the material.

The energy of the bullet E = 1/2 mv²

E = 1/2 x 10 x 10⁻³ x (2000)²

E = 2 x 10⁴ J

This heat is used in heating the paraffin

E = m x c ΔT = m x c (Tfinal -Tinitial)

2 x 10⁴ J = 1 x 2.8 x 10³ x (Tfinal -20)

Tfinal = 27.1°C

Thus, the final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.
