Observer A, who is at rest in the laboratory, is studying a particle that is moving through the laboratory at a speed of v=0.8c

and determines its lifetime to be τA=129 ns. Observer A places markers in the laboratory at the locations where the particle is produced and where it decays. How far apart are those markers in the laboratory?

Answer:

30.96 m

Explanation:

If the particle has a lifetime of 129 ns as measured by observer A, and has a speed of 0.8c as measured by observer A, the distance between the markers will be:

d = v * Δt

v = 0.8*c = 0.8 * 3e8 = 2.4e8

Δt = ζ = 129 ns = 1.29e-7 s

d = 2.4e8 * 1.29e-7 = 30.96 m

This is the distance as measured by observer A.

what happens to a circuits resistance, voltage, and current when you increase the diameter of the wire in the circuit?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Option D.

Resistance (R) decreases

Voltage (V) is constant

Current (I) increases

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing an equation relating resistance and diameter of a wire. This is given below:

R = ρL/A ......... (1)

A = πr² (since the wire is circular in shape)

r = d/2

A = πr² = π(d/2)²

A = πd²/4

Substitute the value of A into equation 1

R = ρL/A

R = ρL ÷ A

R = ρL ÷ πd²/4

R = ρL × 4/πd²

R = 4ρL /πd²

Where:

R is the resistance of the wire.

ρ is the resistivity of the wire.

L is the length of the wire.

A is the cross sectional area of the wire.

r is the radius.

d is the diameter of the wire

From equation (1) above, we can say that the resistance (R) is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire. This implies that an increase in the diameter of the wire will result in a decrease of the resistance. Also, a decrease in the diameter of the wire will result in an increase in the resistance of the wire.

1. Since the diameter of the wire is increase, therefore, the resistance of the wire will decrease.

2. From ohm's law,

V = IR

Divide both side by I

R = V/I

Where:

R is the resistance

V is the voltage

I is the current

From the above equation, the resistance (R) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the current (I).

If we keep the voltage constant, this means that an increase in the resistance will lead to a decrease in the current. Also, a decrease in the resistance will lead to an increase in the current.

Since the resistance of the wire decrease, the current will increase.

From the illustrations made above, an increase in the diameter of the wire will lead to:

1. Decrease in resistance.

2. Voltage is constant.

3. Increase in current.

A 20kg object acceleration by a force of 200N with coefficient of kineticfriction is 0.4 what is acceleration of the object?​
Schach [20]

Answer:

<u>Given</u><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><u>M</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u>20 kg

k = 0.4

F = 200 N

<u>To </u><u>find </u><u>-</u><u> </u> acceleration

<u>Solution </u><u>-</u><u> </u>

F= kMA

200 = 0.4 * 20 * acceleration

200 = 8 * a

a = 8/200

a = 0.04 m s²

<h3>a = 0.04 m s²</h3>

To calibrate your calorimeter cup, you first put 45 mL of cold water in the cup, and measure its temperature to be 24.7 °C. You
drek231 [11]

Answer : The heat change of the cold water in Joules is, 1.6\times 10^3J

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of cold water.

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/mL. The volume of cold water is 45 mL.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass=Density\times Volume=1g/mL\times 45mL=45g

Now we have to calculate the heat change of cold water.

Formula used :

Q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)

where,

Q = heat change of cold water = ?

m = mass of cold water = 45 g

c = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of cold water = 24.7^oC

T_2 = final temperature  = 33.4^oC

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

Q=45g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (33.4-24.7)^oC

Q=1638.036J=1.6\times 10^3J

Therefore, the heat change of cold water is 1.6\times 10^3J
