Chapter 12: Q8CQ (page 555)

Equation (12·5) would apply to any given chunk of an expanding spherical mass. provided that no chunks overtake any others-if, for instance,speed increases, with distance from the origin. Why? (Think of Gauss’­ law from electrostatics).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The chunk’s motion inside the planet does not change and the speed is also described by the equation (12-5).

Step by step solution

01

Significance of Gauss law:

The Gauss law states that the electric flux is mainly equal to the division of the charge enclosed by the permittivity. It is mainly used in electrostatics.

02

Determination of the reason why speed increases with distance:

The field of gravity is mainly dependent on the enclosed surface’s mass and also the mass’ distance. The field is also independent of the speed whether it increases or decreases with the change in the radius.

Thus, the chunk’s motion inside the planet does not change and the speed is also described by the equation (12-5).

Sketch the Feynman diagram if the proposed decay is possible.

Ω-→Ξ0+π-

You are a promising theoretical physicist who does not believe that gravity is a distinct fundamental force but is instead related to the other forces by an all-encompassing relativistic, quantum-mechanical theory. In particular, you do not believe that the universal gravitational constant G is really one of nature's elite set of fundamental constants. You believe that Gcan be derived from more-basic constants: the fundamental constant of quantum mechanics, Planck's constanth ; the fundamental speed limiting the propagation of any force, the speed of lightc ; and one other- a fundamental length l, important to the one unified force. Using simply dimensional analysis, find a formula for G, and then an order-of magnitude value for the fundamental length.

Although not truly fundamental, the residual strong force shared by nucleons can also be represented by a feynmandiagram, with pion filling the role of mediating boson.The accompanying diagram represents a force between a neutron and a proton mediated by aπ0 boson.Suggest a diagram in which they exchange a π-particle.

Sketch Feynman vertex for the creation of a ←d quark and c quark.

In the following exercises, two protons are smashed together in an attempt to convert kinetic energy into mass and new particles. Indicate whether the proposed reaction is possible. If not, indicate which rules are violated. Consider only those for charge, angular momentum, and baryon number If the reaction is possible, calculate the minimum kinetic energy required of the colliding protons.
