What's the difference between a bayron and a meson?

A baryon is a particle that is made up of three quarks (which are fundamental particles) bound by the strong force. A meson, on the other hand, is a particle which is made up of one quark and one antiquar...

At what angle does total internal reflection occur?

This question is to do with the refraction that occurs when a light ray hits a boundary between two media of different refractive index. We know that the relationship between the angle of incidence and an...

How do you explain why puddles evaporate on cold days ?

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of an object. We can approximate this average kinetic energy using the relationship E≈kT. Where k is the boltzmann constant and T is the absolute tem...

How many joules of heat energy are required to raise the temperature of 10kg of water from 22⁰C to 27⁰C? (The Specific Heat Capacity of water is 4200 Jkg^-1⁰C^-1)

Heat energy Q = mass of substance m X SHC of substance C X change in temperature ΔT Q = 10kg X 4200Jkg^-1⁰C^-1 X (27-22)⁰C Q = 10kg X 4200Jkg^-1⁰C^-1 X 5⁰C Q=210,000J = 210kJ 210 kilojoules of energy is r...

A car of mass 800 kg is accelerated horizontally by constant net force of 1920 N for 9 s. It then breaks for 2 s, but drives off a 5 m high cliff. If μ = 0.85, what is the total horizontal distance travelled by car and its velocity? Ignore air resistance.

F=ma, so a=F/m giving a=2.4m/s^2. When t=9s, v=at, so v=21.6m/s. Friction force is Ff = μF(normal), which is Ff = μmg, so Ff = 6670.8N (if g = 9.81m/s^2). Frictional force always acts against the directio...
