Question

1. A particle at rest decays into two corfu particles, each with a mass of 200.0 MeV/c². One of the corfu particles is measured to have a kinetic energy of 98.3 MeV.
a. Find the mass in MeV/c² of the original particle which decayed.
b. Find the momenta of each of the corfu particles.

Expert Solution

Hint :

One particle is decayed and it forms two Corfu particle

so we will calculate the mass of the original particle by adding the mass of the two Corfu particles.

the momenta P of each Corfu particle is

P=E/c

P is the momentum

E is the energy

c is the speed of light
