The momentum of a relativistic particle is given by
p= \gamma m_0 v
where
\gamma= \frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } } is the relativistic factor
m_0 is the rest mass of the particle
v is the speed particle

The rest mass of the muon is 207 times the rest mass of the electron:
m_0 = 207 m_e = 207 \cdot 9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg=1.88 \cdot 10^{-28} kg
The muon is moving at speed 0.995 c, therefore its velocity is
v=0.995 c=0.995 \cdot 2.998 \cdot 10^8 m/s =2.983 \cdot 10^8 m/s
And the relativistic factor is
\gamma =  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- (\frac{0.995 c}{c})^2 } } =10.01

If we plug these numbers into the first equation, we find the muon momentum:
p= \gamma m_0 v=(10.01)(1.88 \cdot 10^{-28} kg)(2.983 \cdot 10^8 m/s)=
=5.61 \cdot 10^{-19} kgm/s

HELP PLS! :/
deff fn [24]

Answer:

31.28m/s

Explanation:

We can use the third key equation of accelerated motion

Δd = viΔt+1/2aΔt^2

subtitute in the values we know

41.6 = vi(1.89)+1/2(-9.8)(1.89)^2

41.6 = vi(1.89) - 17.52

59.12 = vi(1.89)

vi = 31.28

Maslowich

Answer:

.a = 849.05 m / s²

Explanation

The centripetal acceleration is

            a = v² / r

     

Linear and angular velocity are related

          v = w r

Angular velocity and frequency are related by

        w = 2π f

Let's replace

        a = w² r

         a = 4π² f² r

Let's reduce to the SI system

       f = 2.30 rev / s (2π rad / 1 rev) = 14.45 rad / s

       .r = 10.3 cm = 0.103 m

Let's calculate

       a = 4π² 14.45²  0.103

       .a = 849.05 m / s²
