Most string theory compactifications analyzed

Reference no: EM13678787

Most string theory compactifications analyzed therefore far have as backgrounds a conformal field theory corresponding to a nonlinear sigma model with a Calabi-Yau target space, or some relatively classical background, possibly with orb folding. But as long as the central charge of the Virasoro algebra is right, and world sheet super conformal symmetry is respected, any other super conformal field theory will do just as well. Why hasn’t string theorists looked at such models more often?

How far would the ball fly if the initial speed was doubled : After a golf ball is hit it takes off with an initial speed of 29.5 m/s and at an angle of 39.5° with respect to the horizontal. The golf field is flat and horizontal. Neglecting air resistance how far will the golf ball fly?

Magnitude of gravitational field at the surface of planet : The trajectory of a rock thrown from a height with an initial speed of 17.3 m/s is shown in the figure below. Evaluate the magnitude of the gravitational field at the surface of the planet. The planet has no atmosphere.

Most string theory compactifications analyzed : Most string theory compactifications analyzed therefore far have as backgrounds a conformal field theory corresponding to a nonlinear sigma model with a Calabi-Yau target space, or some relatively classical background, possibly with orb folding.

Documentaries as a huge sphere with earth in the middle : Where exactly does CMB come from? I've seen it in documentaries as a huge sphere with Earth in the middle. But if all this radiation was ejected from the start of the universe some time after the big bang; why can we see it? Certainly the radiation m..

How much later does it hit the bottom of the cliff : A stone is thrown vertically upward by a speed of 17.8 m/s from the edge of a cliff 75.0 m high. What is its speed just before hitting? What total distance did it travel?

Decide the initial and final velocities of the particle : The acceleration of a particle moving along a horizontal path is constant and equal to 4ft/sec^2 to the left. Through a certain time internal, the particle has a displacement of 54ft to the right and travels a total distance of 90ft.

Determine what is his speed as he crosses the finish line : A sprinter can accelerate with constant acceleration for 3.40s before reaching top speed. He can run the 100-meter dash in 10 s. Determine what is his speed as he crosses the finish line?
