1) Subatomic particles called muons can be created in the upper atmosphere by collisions of cosmic rays (energetic particles com

Vsevolod [243]

Answer and explanation:

Muon travelled straight down towards the earth. Therefore the tree moves up in the rest frame of muon (option a)

In muon rest frame it travels Zero meters

Distance, d = Velocity, v * Time, s

$where, v = 0.9c = 0.9 \times 8 \times 10^8 , s = 2.2 \mu s$

$d = 0.9 \times 3 \times 10^8 \times 2.2 \times 10^{-6}\\\\d = 594m$

Distance from the top of the mountain to the tree is the same as the distance travelled by the tree in the muons rest frame

that is same as in part C which is 594m

Using lorentz contraction

In the rest frame of someone standing on the mountain

the distance is given by

$d' = \frac{d}{\gamma} = d\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}, where, \frac{1}{\gamma}= \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$d' = 594\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.9c)^2}{c^2}}$

$d' = 594\sqrt{1 - 0.81}$

$d' = 594 \times 0.4359$

d' = 258.92m

in the rest frame of someone standing on the mountain,

muon moves straight down

Why do the pvc plastic wells used in this weeks elisa need to be sticky on the inner walls and how may your results change if a

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The stickiness in the inner walls allows them to be easily coated with the desired antigens, this translates in the use of a smaller amount of antigen. If the walls weren't sticky there's a possibility the antigen won't stick to them and therefore the result of the ELISA can be a false negative.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
