Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

A cosmic ray muon with mass m = 1.88 1028 kg impacting the Earths atmosphere slows down in proportion to the amount of matter it passes through. One such particle, initially traveling at 2.50 108 m/s in a straight line, decreases in speed to 1.50 108 m/s over a distance of 1.20 km. a. What is the magnitude of the force experienced by the muon? b. How does this force compare to the weight of the muon?

An object of mass m = 1.00 kg is observed to have an acceleration a with a magnitude of 10.0 m/s2 in a direction 60.0 east of north. Figure P4.29 shows a view of the object from above.

(a) What is the strength of the weak nuclear force relative to the strong nuclear force? (b) What is the strength of the weak nuclear force relative to the electromagnetic force? Since the weak nuclear force acts at only very short distances, such as inside nuclei, where the strong and electromagnetic forces also act, it might seem surprising that we have any knowledge of it at all. We have such knowledge because the weak nuclear force is responsible for beta decay, a type of nuclear decay not explained by other forces.
