Integrated Concepts Particles called muons exist in cosmic rays and can be created in particle accelerators. Muons are very similar to electrons, having the same charge and spin, but they have a mass 207 times greater. When muons are captured by an atom, they orbit just like an electron but with a smaller radius, since the mass in aß = = 0.529 × 10-10 m is 207 me. 4x² m,kq,

Wonder Woman and Superman fly to an altitude of 1630 km,1630 km, carrying between them a chest full of jewels that they intend to put into orbit around Earth. They want to make this tempting treasure inaccessible to their evil enemies who are trying to gain possession of it, yet keep it available for themselves for future use when they retire and settle down. But perhaps the time to retire is now! They accidentally drop the chest, which leaves their weary hands at rest, and discover that they are no longer capable of catching it as it falls into the Pacific Ocean. At what speed ?fvf does the chest impact the surface of the water? Ignore air resistance (in reality, it would make large difference). The radius and mass of Earth are 6370 km6370 km and 5.98×1024 kg,5.98×1024 kg, respectively.
Two stars M1 and M2 of equal mass make up a binary star system. They move in a circular orbit that has its center at the midpoint of the line that separates them. If M1 = M2 = 6.95 sm (solar mass), and the orbital period of each star is 2.45 days, find their orbital speed. (The mass of the sun is 1.99 1030 kg.)
When will you attract the sun more: today at noon, or tonight at midnight? Explain.
The weight of bodies may change somewhat from onelocation to another as a result of the variation of the gravitationalacceleration g with elevation. Accounting for this variationusing the relation, determine the weight ofan 80‑kg person at sea level (z = 0), in Denver (z = 1610 m),and on the top of Mount Everest (z = 8848 m).
A merry-go-round is a playground ride that consists of a large disk mounted to that it can freely rotate in a horizontal plane. The merry-go-round shown is initially at rest, has a radius R = 1.3 meters, and a mass M = 291 kg. A small boy of mass m = 42 kg runs tangentially to the merry-go-round at a speed of v = 1.8 m/s, and jumps on. Randomized VariablesR = 1.3 metersM = 291 kgm = 42 kgv = 1.8 m/s Part A- Calculate the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, in kg ⋅ m2. Part B- Immediately before the boy jumps on the merry go round, calculate his angular speed (in radians/second) about the central axis of the merry-go-round. Part C- Immediately after the boy jumps on the merry go round, calculate the angular speed in radians/second of the merry-go-round and boy. Part D- The boy then crawls towards the center of the merry-go-round along a radius. What is the angular speed in radians/second of the merry-go-round when the boy is half way between the edge and the center of the merry…
