A beam of unstable K mesons, traveling at a speed of 32c, passes through two counters 9.00 m apart. The particles suffer a negli

gible loss of speed and energy in passing through the counters but give electrical pulses that can be counted. It is observed that 1000 counts are recorded in the first counter and 250 in the second. Assuming that this whole decrease is due to the decay of the particles in flight, what is their half-life as measured in their own rest system?

Answer:

8.66 nano seconds

Explanation:

speed of k mesons ( v ) = c \sqrt{3} /2  m/s

Distance between counters ( d ) = 9.00 m

number of countable electrical pulses = 1000 counts in first counter and 250 in second counter

time of travel = d / v  = 18 / \sqrt{3} C  secs

Next write the decay of particles in lab frame

finally calculate the half life of Meson in its own frame

( t 1/2) of meson in its own frame = 8.66 n-secs

attached below is a detailed solution

A piece of aluminum foil has a known surface density of
bija089 [108]

The cube has 6 equal, square, foil faces. The mass of foil for each face is (380/6) milligrams.

The surface area of each piece is (380)/(6•11) cm^2.

The length of each side of the piece is √(380/6•11) cm

That's about 2.4 cm .

It's a cute little foil cube, just under 1-inch each way.

What happens to the current supplied by the battery when you add an identical bulb in parallel to the original bulb?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

b. The current stays the same.

Explanation:

In the case given current is supplied by the battery to a bulb . Here, we should know that bulb also apply resistance to the flow of current .

Now, when an identical bulb is connected in parallel to the original bulb .

Therefore, both the resistance( bulb) are in parallel.

We know, when two resistance are in parallel , current through them is same and voltage is divided between them.

Therefore, in this case current stays same in the original bulb.

Hence, this is the required solution.
