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

which of these is not a physical property of matter? select one: a. flammability b. color c. hardness d. density
netineya [11]
I believe the answer your looking for is A. Flammability. Because flammability is a chemical property, not a physical one. Hope this helps :)

Why are choir concerts better in performance halls than in gymnasiums?
dlinn [17]

Constructive interference in performance halls and the elimination of echoes are reasons why choir concerts better in performance halls than in gymnasiums.

<h3>What is constructive interference?</h3>

Constructive interference is a phenomenon which occurs when two waves travelling in same direction and which are in phase add up together to produce a wave of greater amplitude.

Constructive interference occurs in performance halls while destructive interference occurs in gymnasiums.

Also in performance halls, echoes are minimized due to the padded walls and the curtains while echoes which disturb choir concerts occur in gymnasiums.

Therefore, choir concerts better in performance halls than in gymnasiums because of constructive interference in performance halls and the elimination of echoes.

<span>m1 = 5g = 0.005kg v1 = 0 m2 = 1.0 x 10^-7g = 1.0x10^-10kg v2 = 7.5 v3 = ? looks like you did the formula correctly m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1+m2)v3 0 + m2v2 = (m1+m2)v3 m2v2 / (m1+m2) = v3 (1.0x10^-10)(7.5) / (0.005 + 1.0x10^-10) = v3 1.5x10^-7 = v3 However, it said the bee gets hit by 1000 pollen grains, so I would guess you have to multiply 1.0 x 10^-10 by 1000 first, unless the total mass of the 1000 grains really is 1.0 x 10^-10.</span>
