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

ruslelena [56]

position of the peg is given by the equation

r = 4 sin2\theta

now the rate of change in position is given as

v = \frac{dr}{dt}

v = \frac{d}{dt}(4 sin2\theta)

v = 8cos2\theta*\frac{d\theta}{dt}

v = 8 cos2\theta*\omega

given that

\omega = 1 rad/s

\theta = 59 degree

now we have

v = 8*cos(2*59)* 1 = -3.76 m/s

<em>so its speed will be 3.76 m/s in magnitude</em>

What three categories can every living thing in a forest ecosystem be sorted into
juin [17]

Answer:

Producers

Consumers

Decomposers

Explanation:

The three categories in which every living thing in a forest ecosystem can be sorted into are producers, consumers and decomposers.

The producers as the name implies manufactures food for the whole of the ecosystem. They take inorganic materials from the environment and convert them into useful food materials. All plants are producers and some micro-organisms.

Animals are consumers and they take up the produced food for their own nourishment and life activities.

Decomposers recycles materials in the ecosystem by converting wastes generated by producers and consumers into useful products that returns to the atmosphere or replenishes soil nutrients.

An uncharged capacitor is connected to the terminals of a 4.0 V battery, and 6.0 μC flows to the positive plate. The 4.0 V batte
Ugo [173]

Answer:

1 μC extra charge will be flow here

Explanation:

Given data

battery V1 = 4.0 V

flows Q1 =  6.0 μC

replace battery V2 = 7.0 V

to find out

what happen if we replace battery

solution

we apply here principal of capacitor

that is Q directly proportional voltage

so we say Q2/Q1 = V2/ V1

put all value here

Q2/Q1 = V2/ V1

Q2/6 = 7/ 6

Q2 = 7

so we see here 7 μC will be flow

and Q = Q2 - Q1 = 7 - 6 = 1 μC

so we also say that 1 μC extra charge will be flow here

Explain how bats use ultrasound to catch a prey​
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Ultrasound is used by bats to navigate (move) and catch prey. Ultrasonic squeaks are produced by bats. These squeaks ponder prey and then return to the bat's ear. This provides bats with information about the location of prey, allowing them to catch it.
