Pions have a half-life of 1.8 x 10^-8 s. A pion beam leaves an accelerator at a speed of 0.8c. What is the expected distance ove

Answer:

the expected distance is 4.32 m

Explanation:

given data

half life time = 1.8 × $10^{-8}$ s

speed = 0.8 c = 0.8 × 3 × $10^{8}$

to find out

expected distance over

solution

we know c is speed of light in air is 3 × $10^{8}$ m/s

we calculate expected distance by given formula that is

expected distance = half life time × speed .........1

put here all these value

expected distance = half life time × speed

expected distance = 1.8 × $10^{-8}$ × 0.8 × 3 × $10^{8}$

expected distance = 4.32

so the expected distance is 4.32 m

liquid helium has a very low boiling point, 4.2 k, as well as a very low latent heat of vaporization, 2.00 104 j/kg. if energy i

aksik [14]

$4.80 \times 10^3 \text { seconds }$ long does it take to boil away 2.40 kg of the liquid.

Boiling point of He is $T=4.2 \mathrm{k}$

Latent heat of vapourization $L=2.00 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}$

Power of electrical heater $P=30 \mathrm{w}$

mass of liquid is $m=2.40 \mathrm{~kg}$

amount of heat required to boil

$\begin{aligned}&Q=m L \\&Q=2.40 \times 2 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J} \\&Q=4.80 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}$

Power $p=\frac{\text { work }}{\text { time }}=\frac{\text { Energy }}{\text { Time }}$

$\begin{aligned}P &=\frac{Q}{t} \\\text { tine } t &=\frac{Q}{P}=\frac{4.80 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J}}{10} \\t &=4.80 \times 10^3 \text { seconds }\end{aligned}$

The heat or energy that is absorbed or released during a substance's phase shift is known as latent heat. It could go from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas, or vice versa. Enthalpy, a characteristic of heat, is connected to latent heat.

The heat that is used or lost as matter melts and transitions from a solid to a fluid form at a constant temperature is known as the latent heat of fusion.

Due to the fact that during softening the heat energy anticipated to transform the substance from solid to fluid at air pressure is the latent heat of fusion and that the temperature remains constant during the process, the "enthalpy" of fusion is a latent heat. The enthalpy change of any quantity of material during dissolution is known as the latent heat of fusion.

Humans can typically perceive frequencies that range from 20 Hz–20 kHz. Dogs can hear sounds up to 45 kHz. Dog whistles produce

Aleksandr [31]

Pitch is directly related to the frequency of the sound. In this item, we are given that the frequency of the sound is higher compared to those which are audible to the human being's ears. The pitch therefore of the dog's whistle is high.

On the other hand, the frequency and the wavelength of a certain wave are inversely proportional. This means that the high frequency wave will have a short wavelength.

Hence, the answer to this item would have to be "high pitch with a short wavelength"

The answer to this item is the second option.

If you throw a baseball straight up,What is its velocity at the highest point?

sveta [45]

Answer: 52.

Explanation: Critical Thinking When a ball is thrown vertically up, it keeps going up until it hits a certain position, and then falls down. At the maximum point, the velocity is instantaneously zero.

I may or may not be a nerd lol.

A boat moves through the water of a river at 10m/s relative to the water, regardless of the boat ‘s direction . If the water in

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "61.37 s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Boat moves,

= 10 m/s

Water flowing,

= 1.50 m/s

Displacement,

d = 300 m

Now,

The boat is travelling,

= $10+1.50$

= $11.5 \ m/s$

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ $v = \frac{d}{t} \ sot \ t$

$=\frac{d}{v}$

On putting the values, we get

$=\frac{300}{11.5}$

$=26.08 \ s$

Throughout the opposite direction, when the boat seems to be travelling then,

= $10-1.50$

= $8.5 \ m/s$

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ $v=\frac{v}{t} \ sot \ t$

$=\frac{d}{v}$

On putting the values, we get

$=\frac{300}{8.5}$

$=35.29 \ s$

hence,

The time taken by the boat will be:

= $26.08+35.29$

= $61.37 \ s$
