Answer:

19.2*10^6 s

Explanation:

The equation for time dilation is:

t = \frac{t'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}

Then, if it is observed to have a life of 6*10^6 s, and it travels at 0.95 c:

t = \frac{6*10^6}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2}}} = 19.2*10^6 s

It has a lifetime of 19.2*10^6 s when observed from a frame of reference in which the particle is at rest.

Which atomic number is the threshold value below which fusion may occur?
Luda [366]

Answer:

The atomic number 26(iron) is the threshold value below which the fusion might occur.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.

Energy released in a fusion reaction is because of a key feature of nuclear matter called the binding energy which is a measure of the efficiency with which its constituent nucleons are bound together.

As we go up in atomic number, the energy released per nuclei goes down until it hits a minimum which is for atomic number 26 (iron) and fusion is not possible.

Find the energy in joules required to lift a 55.0 megagram object a distance of 500cm
pantera1 [17]

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
so 55 megagrams = 55,000 kilograms

100 cm = 1 meter
so 500 cm = 5 meters

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

========================================

Work = increase in potential energy =

               (weight) x (height) =

             (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

             (55,000 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m) =

                     2,695,000 joules .

The ability of a singer to shatter glass is due to: <br> bending of a wave around an obstacle
Rzqust [24]
The ability of singers to shatter glass is due to the control of frequency in their voices. The sound waves will vibrate the air particles that surround the glass at its resonant frequency. The glass will break if a singer sings too loudly.
