- An unstable particle at rest breaks up into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the lighter fragment is equal to 2.60 x 10° -28 kg and that of the heavier fragment is 1.66 × 10° -27 kg. If the lighter fragment has a speed of 0.893c after the breakup, what is the speed of the heavier fragment?An unstable particle at rest spontaneously breaks into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the first fragment is m1 = 2.50 x 10-28 kg, and that of the other is m2 = 1.67 x 10-27 kg. If the speed of m1 is equal to 0.893c after the breakup, where c = 3 x 108 m/s. What is the final speed of m2?A kaon with a speed 0.8c in the laboratory decays into two pions, one positively charged and the other negatively charged. The rest mass of the kaon is 498 MeV/c2 and the rest mass of the pion is 140 MeV/c2. (a) What is the total energy of the kaon in the laboratory frame? (b) In the rest frame the two pions must go off in opposite directions to conserve momentum. What is the energy of each of the pions in the kaon rest frame? (c) Assume that the positive pion continues to travel in the same direction as the kaon was traveling. What is the total energy of each of the pions in the laboratory? (d) In what direction, relative to the kaon’s original direction of travel, does the negatively charged pion travel?
- Consider the inelastic collision. Two lumps of matter are moving directly toward each other. Each lump has a mass of 0.500 kgand is moving at a speed of 0.910?. The two lumps collide and stick together. Answer the questions, keeping in mind that relativistic effects cannot be neglected in this case. What is the final speed ?f of the combined lump, expressed as a fraction of ?? ?f= ? What is the final mass ?f of the combined lump immediately after the collision, assuming that there has not yet been significant energy loss due to radiation or fragmentation? ?f=Antimatter: When a particle and its anti-particle collide, energy and momentum are conserved. However, the particles can annihilate each other and produce two gamma rays - high energy photons. An electron and an anti-electron each have a rest mass of 9.11 × 10-31 kg. Suppose the particles are each accelerated to a speed of 0.98c in a particle accelerator with a length of 1543 m for a head on collision. (Each particle is moving at this speed with respect to the lab, and the particles are moving in opposite directions.) They collide head on and annihilate. What is the wavelength of the gamma rays produced in this collision?a) What is the kinetic energy of a 1.0 g particle with a speed of 0.800c? b) What is the rest energy of a 1.0 g particle with a speed of 0.800c? c) What is the total energy of a 1.0 g particle with a speed of 0.800c?
- The star of a distant solar system explodes as a supernova. At the moment of the explosion, an resting exploration spaceship is 15 AU away from the shock wave. The shock wave of the explosion travels with 25000 km/s toward the spaceship.
