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
1 answer:
Answer:
the expected distance is 4.32 m
Explanation:
given data
half life time = 1.8 × s
speed = 0.8 c = 0.8 × 3 ×
to find out
expected distance over
solution
we know c is speed of light in air is 3 × 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 × × 0.8 × 3 ×
expected distance = 4.32
so the expected distance is 4.32 m

(a) Greater
The frequency of the nth-harmonic on a string is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency, :
So we have:
- On wire A, the second-harmonic has frequency of , so the fundamental frequency is:
- On wire B, the third-harmonic has frequency of , so the fundamental frequency is
So, the fundamental frequency of wire A is greater than the fundamental frequency of wire B.
(b)
For standing waves on a string, the fundamental frequency is given by the formula:
where
v is the speed at which the waves travel back and forth on the wire
L is the length of the string
(c) Greater speed on wire A
We can solve the formula of the fundamental frequency for v, the speed of the wave:
We know that the two wires have same length L. For wire A, , while for wave B,
, so we can write the ratio between the speeds of the waves in the two wires:
So, the waves travel faster on wire A.

We can figure this one out using the law of conservation of energy.
At point A the car would have potential energy and kinetic energy.
Then, while the car is traveling down the track it loses some of its initial energy due to friction:
So, we know that the car is approaching the point B with the following amount of energy:
The law of conservation of energy tells us that this energy must the same as the energy at point B.
The energy at point B is the sum of car's kinetic and potential energy:
As said before this energy must be the same as the energy of a car approaching the loop:
Now we solve the equation for
