This is my final question in my ILC course (other than my unit summary) before I prep for my final. I haven't NOT answered any questions yet, and I could really use some help to understand what I'm just not getting about this one. Any input would be helpful please. Thank you

mass = charge/ charge to mass ratio is what I got from that equation, and I used this to help me determine the mass of the electron. I am supposed to compare the mass of pion to the mass of the electron, so I needed to determine the mass of the electron.

I figured that since it helped me to see that the quarks and leptons cancel out each other, it shows a 0 charge. Since the ratio is q/m and q = 0 then the ratio = 0.

The charge-to-mass ratio was not provided. It was to be determined trhrough my sketch in #1. The sketch shows that the quarks and leptons cancel each other out to leave the meson with a 0 charge

So the pion is a meson of the He3 atom? Can't pions also have a 0 charge? +1, -1 or 0 charge? Thank you for your help.

Homework Statement 1.Sketch a diagram of the atom He3, using the appropriate quarks and leptons. 2 The charge-to-mass ratio of the pion was determined in 1. The charge-to-mass ratio of the electron is 1.76 x 10^11 C/kg. a) Based on this info, predict which particle has a greater mass- the...

Thank you for your help ...sorry for the delayed response, I'm apparently quite good at avoiding my physics course LOL. I appreciste the feedback. So I ended up with total displacement = 78.1 m after I gave Cy a negative value of -14.6 Thanks again!

Homework Statement In a total time of 2.0 min, a duck on a pond paddles 22 m [36 degrees N of E] and then paddles another 65 m [E 25 degrees S] Determine the duck's i) total distance travelled ii) average speed iii) total displacement iv) average velocity Homework Equations ii) v=...
