A subatomic particle X spontaneously decays into two particles, A and B, each of rest energy 1.40 × 10^2 MeV. The particles fly off in opposite directions, each with speed 0.827c relative to an inertial reference frame S. What is the total energy of particle A?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

E = 389 MeV

Explanation:

The total energy of particle A, will be equal to the sum of rest mass energy and relative energy of particle A. Therefore,

Total Energy of A = E = Rest Mass Energy + Relative Energy

Using Einstein's Equation: E = mc²

E = m₀c² + mc²

From Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, we know that:

m = m₀/[√(1-v²/c²)]

Therefore,

E = m₀c² + m₀c²/[√(1-v²/c²)]

E = m₀c²[1 + 1/√(1-v²/c²)]

where,

m₀c² = rest mass energy = 140 MeV

v = relative speed = 0.827 c

Therefore,

E = (140 MeV)[1 + 1/√(1 - (0.827c)²/c²)]

E = (140 MeV)(2.78)

E = 389 MeV

Answers

Starting from rest, the wheel attains an angular velocity of 25 rad/s in a matter of 10 s, which means the angular acceleration [tex]\alpha[/tex] is

[tex]25\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}=\alpha(10\,\mathrm s)\implies\alpha=2.5\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}[/tex]

For the next 37 s, the wheel maintains a constant angular velocity of 25 rad/s, meaning the angular acceleration is zero for the duration. After this time, the wheel undergoes an angular acceleration of -1.5 rad/s/s until it stops, which would take time [tex]t[/tex],

[tex]0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}=25\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}+\left(-1.5\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\implies t=16.666\ldots\,\mathrm s[/tex]

which makes B, approximately 17 s, the correct answer.

The time interval of angular deceleration is 16.667 seconds, whose closest integer is 17 seconds. (B. 17 s.)

Let suppose that the grinding wheel has uniform Acceleration and Deceleration. In this question we need to need to calculate the time taken by the grinding wheel to stop, which is found by means of the following Kinematic formula:

[tex]t = \frac{\omega - \omega_{o}}{\alpha}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]\omega_{o}[/tex] - Initial angular velocity, in radians per second.

[tex]\omega[/tex] - Final angular velocity, in radians per second.

[tex]\alpha[/tex] - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in seconds.

If we know that [tex]\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex], [tex]\omega_{o} = 25\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex] and [tex]\alpha = -1.5\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}[/tex], then the time taken by the grinding wheel to stop:

[tex]t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-25\,\frac{rad}{s}}{-1.5\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }[/tex]

[tex]t = 16.667\,s[/tex]

The time interval of angular deceleration is 16.667 seconds. (Answer: B)

The terminal velocity is [tex]v_t =17.5 \ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The mass of the squirrel is  [tex]m_s = 50\ g = \frac{50}{1000} = 0.05 \ kg[/tex]

      The surface area is   [tex]A_s = 935 cm^2 = \frac{935}{10000} = 0.0935 \ m^2[/tex]

       The height of fall is  h =4.8 m

        The length of the prism is [tex]l = 23.2 = 0.232 \ m[/tex]

          The width of the prism is [tex]w = 11.6 = 0.116 \ m[/tex]

A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. One person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.504 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance. Find the height H.

Answers

Answer:

4.93 m

Explanation:

According to the question, the computation of the height is shown below:

But before that first we need to find out the speed which is shown below:

As we know that

[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = \frac{5}{0.504}[/tex]

= 9.92 m/s

Now

[tex]v^2 - u^2 = 2\times g\times h[/tex]

[tex]9.92^2 = 2\times 9.98 \times h[/tex]

98.4064 = 19.96 × height

So, the height is 4.93 m

We simply applied the above formulas so that the height i.e H could arrive

During last year’s diving competition, the divers always pull their limbs in and curl up their bodies when they do flips. Just before entering the water, they fully extend their limbs to enter straight down as shown. Explain the effect of both actions on their angular velocities and kinetic energy (support your answer with working). Also explain the effect on their angular momentum.

Answers

Answer:

the angular speed of the person increases, being able to make more turns and faster.

 K₂ = K₁ I₁ / I₂

Explanation:

When the divers are turning the system is isolated, so all the forces are internal and therefore also the torque, therefore the angular momentum is conserved

initial, joint when starting to turn

         L₀ = I₁ w₁

final. When you shrink your arms and legs

         Lf = I₂ w₂

         L₀ = Lf

         I₁ w₁ = I₂ w₂

when you shrink your arms and legs the distance to the turning point decreases and since the moment of inertia depends on the distance squared, the moment of inertia also decreases

      I₂ <I₁

         w₂ = I₁ / I₂ w₁

therefore the angular speed of the person increases, being able to make more turns and faster.

When it goes into the water it straightens the arm and leg, so the moment of inertia increases

          I₁> I₂

           w₁ = I₂ / I₁ w₂

therefore we see that the angular velocity decreases, therefore the person trains the water like a stone and can go deeper faster.

In both cases the kinetic energy is

          K = ½ I w²

the initial kinetic energy is

          K₁ = ½ I₁ w₁²

the final kinetic energy is

          K₂ = ½ I₂ w₂²

we substitute

          K₂ = ½ I₂ (I₁ / I₂ w1² 2

          K₂ = ½ I₁² / I₂ w₁² = (½ I₁ w₁²)  I₁ / I₂  

          K₂ = K₁ I₁ / I₂

therefore we see that the kinetic energy increases by factor I₁/I₂

Answers

You didn’t put a queston

Answer:

Explanation:

The Law of Energy Conservation states that K1 + U1 = K2 + U2

m= 72.0 kg

h= 3.90 m

a)

K1 + U1 = K2 + U2

0 + mgh = 1/2mvf^2 + 0

mass cancels out so gh=1/2vf^2

(9.8 m/s^2)(3.9 m)=(.5)(vf^2)

vf= 8.74 m/s

b)

1/2mv^2 + mgh = 1/2mv^2 + 0

mass cancels again

(.5)(2.9^2 m/s) + (9.8 m/s^2)(3.9 m) = (.5)(vf^2)

vf= 9.21 m/s

c)

This would be the same as the past problem as the velocity gets squared so direction along the axis doesn't matter. Thus, vf= 9.21 m/s

Use Hooke's Law to determine the work done by the variable force in the spring problem. Nine joules of work is required to stretch a spring 0.5 meter from its natural length. Find the work required to stretch the spring an additional 0.40 meter.

Answers

Answer:

29.16 J

Explanation:

From Hook's law,

W = 1/2(ke²)..................... Equation 1

Where W = work done, k = Spring constant, e = extension.

Given: W = 9 J, e = 0.5 m.

Substitute into equation 1

9 = 1/2(k×0.5²)

Solve for k

k = 18/0.5²

k = 72 N/m.

The work done required to stretch the spring by additional 0.4 m is

W = 1/2(72)(0.4+0.5)²

W = 36(0.9²)

W = 29.16 J.

Q.1- Find the distance travelled by a particle moving in a straight line with uniform acceleration, in the 10th unit of time.

Answers

Answer:

If the acceleration is constant, the movements equations are:

a(t) = A.

for the velocity we can integrate over time:

v(t) = A*t + v0

where v0 is a constant of integration (the initial velocity), for the distance traveled between t = 0 units and t = 10 units, we can solve the integral:

[tex]\int\limits^{10}_0 {A*t + v0} \, dt = ((A/2)10^2 + v0*10) = (A*50 + v0*10)[/tex]

Where to obtain the actual distance you can replace the constant acceleration A and the initial velocity v0.

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The power delivered is  [tex]P_{s} = 1.15 \ W[/tex]

   Let it resistance be denoted as R

    The resistors are connected in series so the equivalent resistance is  

     [tex]R_{eqv} = R+ R = 2 R[/tex]

Considering when it is connected in series    

Generally power is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P_s = V * I[/tex]

Here I is the current which is mathematically represented as

       [tex]I = \frac{V}{2R}[/tex]

The power becomes

     [tex]P_s = V * \frac{V}{2R}[/tex]

     [tex]P_s = \frac{V^2}{2R}[/tex]

substituting value

    [tex]1.15 = \frac{V^2}{2R}[/tex]

Considering when resistance is connected in parallel

  The equivalent resistance becomes

    [tex]R_{eqv} = \frac{R}{2}[/tex]

So The current  becomes

       [tex]I = \frac{V}{\frac{R}{2} } = \frac{2V}{R}[/tex]

And the power becomes

     [tex]P_p = V * \frac{2V}{R} = \frac{2V^2}{R} = \frac{4 V^2}{2 R} = 4 * P_s[/tex]

 substituting values

     [tex]P_p = 4 * 1.15[/tex]

D. displacement can be specified by three numbers. E. displacement is associated by motion.

Answers

Answer:

Option B - displacement can be specified by a magnitude and a direction.

Explanation:

A Vector quantity is defined as a physical quantity characterized by the presence of both magnitude as well as direction. Examples include displacement, force, torque, momentum, acceleration, velocity e.t.c

Whereas a scalar quantity is defined as a physical quantity which is specified with the magnitude or size alone. Examples include length, speed, work, mass, density, etc.

Displacement is the difference between the initial position and the final position of a body. Displacement is a vector quantity and not a scalar quantity because it can be described by using both magnitude as well as direction.

Looking at the options, the only one that truly justifies this definition is option B.

A solid sphere has a temperature of 556 K. The sphere is melted down and recast into a cube that has the same emissivity and emits the same radiant power as the sphere. What is the cube's temperature in kelvins

Answers

Answer:

Cube temperature = 526.83 K

Explanation:

Volume of the cube and sphere will be the same.

Now, volume of cube = a³

And ,volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³

Thus;

a³ = (4/3)πr³

a³ = 4.1187r³

Taking cube root of both sides gives;

a = 1.6119r

Formula for surface area of sphere is;

As = 4πr²

Also,formula for surface area of cube is; Ac = 6a²

Thus, since a = 1.6119r,

Then, Ac = 6(1.6119r)²

Ac = 15.5893r²

The formula for radiant power is;

Q' = eσT⁴A

Where;

e is emissivity

σ is Stefan boltzman constant = 5.67 x 10^(-8) W/m²k

T is temperate in kelvin

A is Area

So, for the cube;

(Qc)' = eσ(Tc)⁴(Ac)

For the sphere;

(Qs)' = eσ(Ts)⁴(As)

We are told (Qc)' = (Qs)'

Thus;

eσ(Tc)⁴(Ac) = eσ(Ts)⁴(As)

eσ will cancel out to give;

(Tc)⁴(Ac) = (Ts)⁴(As)

Since we want to find the cube's temperature Tc,

(Tc)⁴ = [(Ts)⁴(As)]/Ac

Plugging in relevant figures, we have;

(Tc)⁴ = [556⁴ × 4πr²]/15.5893r²

r² will cancel out to give;

(Tc)⁴ = [556⁴ × 4π]/15.5893

Tc = ∜([556⁴ × 4π]/15.5893)

The spring has a negligible mass and is compressed by 8.01 x 10-2 m from its unstrained length. The pellet rises to a maximum height of 4.46 m above its position on the compressed spring. Ignoring air resistance, determine the spring constant.

Answers

Answer:

Spring Constant = 279.58 N/m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 2.05 x 10^(-2) kg = 0.0205 kg

Distance of compression; x = 8.01 × 10^(-2) m = 0.0801 m

Maximum height; h = 4.46 m

The formula for the energy in the spring is given by;

E = ½kx²

where:

k is the spring constant

x is the distance the spring is compressed.

Now, this energy of the spring will be equal to the energy of the pellet at its highest point. Energy of pallet = mgh So;

½kx² = mgh

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

½ * k * 0.0801² = 0.0205 * 9.81 * 4.46

0.003208005k = 0.8969

k = 0.8969/0.003208005

k = 279.58 N/m

During a football game, a receiver has just caught a pass and is standing still. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocity of 2.60 m/s, grabs and holds onto him so that they move off together with a velocity of 1.30 m/s. If the mass of the tackler is 122 kg, determine the mass of the receiver. Assume momentum is conserved.

Answers

Answer:

122kg

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum which states that 'the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to their sum after collision. The bodies will move together with a common velocity after collision.

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

Before collision;

Momentum of receiver m1u1= 0 kgm/s (since the receiver is standing still)

Momentum of the tackler

m2u2 = 2.60*122 = 317.2 kgm/s

where m2 and u2 are the mass and velocity of the tacker respectively.

Sum of momentum before collision = 0+317.2 = 317.2 kgm/s

After collision

Momentum of the bodies = (m1+m2)v

v = their common velocity

m1 = mass of the receiver

Momentum of the bodies = (122+m1)(1.30)

Momentum of the bodies = 158.6+1.30m1

According to the law above;

317.2 = 158.6+1.30m1

317.2-158.6 = 1.30m1

158.6 = 1.30m1

m1 = 158.6/1.30

m1 = 122kg

The mas of the receiver is 122kg

Crystalline germanium (Z=32, rho=5.323 g/cm3) has a band gap of 0.66 eV. Assume the Fermi energy is half way between the valence and conduction bands. Estimate the ratio of electrons in the conduction band to those in the valence band at T = 300 K. (See eq. 10-11) Assume the width of the valence band is ΔΕV ~ 10 eV.

Answers

Answer:

= 8.2*10⁻¹²

Explanation:

Probability of finding an electron to occupy a state of energy, can be expressed by using Boltzmann distribution function

[tex]f(E) = exp(-\frac{E-E_f}{K_BT} )[/tex]

From the given data, fermi energy lies half way between valence and conduction bands, that is half of band gap energy

[tex]E_f = \frac{E_g}{2}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]f(E) = exp(-\frac{E-\frac{E_g}{2} }{K_BT} )[/tex]

Using boltzman distribution function to calculate the ratio of number of electrons in the conduction bands of those electrons in the valence bond is

[tex]\frac{n_{con}}{n_{val}} =\frac{exp(-\frac{[E_c-E_g/2]}{K_BT} )}{exp(-\frac{[E_v-E_fg/2}{K_BT} )}[/tex]

[tex]= exp(\frac{-(E_c-E_v}{K_BT} )\\\\=exp(\frac{-(0.66eV)}{(8.617\times10^-^5eV/K)(300K)} )\\\\=8.166\times10^-^1^2\approx8.2\times10^{-12}[/tex]

Parallel light rays with a wavelength of 610nm fall on a single slit. On a screen 3.10m away, the distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central maximum is 4.00mm.
What is the width of the slit?

Answers

Answer:

The width of the slit will be ".946 mm".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Wavelength = 610 × 10⁻⁹

Length, L = 3 m

As we know,

⇒  [tex]\frac{y}{L} = \frac{m(wavelength)}{a}[/tex]

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  [tex]\frac{2\times 10^{-3}}{3.1} = \frac{(1)(610 X 10^{-9})}{a}[/tex]

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒  [tex]a=9.46\times 10^{-4}[/tex]

⇒  [tex]a = .946 mm[/tex]

A 3 kg mass object is pushed 0.6 m into a spring with spring constant 210 N/m on a frictionless horizontal surface. Upon release, the object moves across the surface until it encounters a rough incline. The object moves UP the incline and stops a height of 1.5 m above the horizontal surface.
(a) How much work must be done to compress the spring initially?
(b) Compute the speed of the mass at the base of the incline.
(c) How much work was done by friction on the incline?

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of spring,m=3 kg

Distance moved by object,d=0.6 m

Spring constant,k=210N/m

Height,h=1.5 m

a.Work done  to compress the spring initially=[tex]\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(210)(0.6)^2=37.8J[/tex]

b.

By conservation law of energy

Initial energy of spring=Kinetic energy  of object

[tex]37.8=\frac{1}{2}(3)v^2[/tex]

[tex]v^2=\frac{37.8\times 2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{37.8\times 2}{3}}[/tex]

v=5.02 m/s

c.Work done by friction on the incline,[tex]w_{friction}=P.E-spring \;energy[/tex]

[tex]W_{friction}=3\times 9.8\times 1.5-37.8=6.3 J[/tex]

If you were to drop a rock from a tall building, assuming that it had not yet hit the ground, and neglecting air resistance. What is its vertical displacement (in m) after 4 s? (g = 10 m/s2)

Answers

Answer:

d = 80 m

its vertical displacement (in m) after 4 s is 80 m

Explanation:

From the equation of motion;

d = vt + 0.5at^2 ......1

Where;

d = displacement

v = initial velocity = 0 (dropped with no initial speed)

t = time of flight = 4s

a = g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s^2

Substituting the given values into equation 1;

d = 0(4) + 0.5(10 × 4^2)

d = 0.5(10×16)

d = 80 m

its vertical displacement (in m) after 4 s is 80 m
