A rocket is moving in a gravity free space with a constant acceleration of 2ms-² along +x direction (see figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is 4m. A ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in +x direction with a speed of 0.3ms-1 relative to the rocket. At the same time, another ball is thrown in -x direction with a speed of 0.2ms-1 from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is:

The muon is an unstable subatomic particle witha mean lifetime of 2.2 μs, and about 10,000 muons reach everysquare meter of the earth's surface a minute. A muon has a linear momentum G, and after some short time it decays into two other elementary particles with masses m1 and m2. The energy Q released during the decay is converted entirely into the kinetic energy of the decay products (i.e., into kinetic energy of m1 and m2). Find linear momenta of decay products. Draw a vector diagram showing a range of momenta decay products can take.
