Centripetal acceleration is (speed-squared) / (radius)

CA = (6 m/s)² / (9 m)

CA = (36 m²/s²) / (9 m)

CA = (36/9) (m²/m·s²)

<em>Centripetal acceleration = 4 m/s²</em>

Explain how waves, energy, and matter are related

Stels [109]

Answer:

Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy while electromagnetic waves do not. ... Waves change direction when they move from one material into another (matter) through the process of refraction. The wave will change direction when the speed of the wave changes.

A muon is a short-lived particle. It is found experimentally that muonsmoving at speed 0.9ccan travel about 1500 meters between

Monica [59]

Answer:

a) $t=5.5\mu s$

b) $\Delta t'=12.5\mu s$

Explanation:

a) Let's use the constant velocity equation:

$v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

v is the speed of the muon. 0.9*c
c is the speed of light 3*10⁸ m/s

$t=\frac{\Delta x}{v}=\frac{1500}{0.9*(3*10^{8})}$

$t=5.5\mu s$

b) Here we need to use Lorentz factor because the speed of the muon is relativistic. Hence the time in the rest frame is the product of the Lorentz factor times the time in the inertial frame.

$\Delta t'=\gamma\Delta t$
