Question

T5-3 (Harder) A particle of mass m₁ travelling with speed v₁ collides with a particle
of mass m₂ travelling with speed v₂ in the same direction as particle 1. The particles
coalesce and move with speed v. Find v and also find the loss in kinetic energy
resulting from the collision. (Note: energy is lost because the collision is perfectly
inelastic).

[Special Relativity] Two hypothetical X particles, each with mass m, collide head-on with the same magnitude of momentum, in the lab frame. The collision produces two new Y particles, each with mass 2m. What is the minimum kinetic energy, in the lab frame, of each X particle to achieve this process? O a. √2m O b. √3m O c. m O d. 2m.
Show that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass m is related to the momentum p of that particleby, ? =p^2/2m. (Hint: plug mv in for p and simplify!)
An unstable particle is at rest and suddenly breaks up into two fragments. No external forces act on the particle or its fragments. One of the fragments has a velocity of +0.837c and a mass of 1.77 × 10-27 kg, and the other has a mass of 5.29 × 10-27 kg. What is the velocity of the more massive fragment (as a multiple of c)?

The space and time coordinates for two events as measured in a frame S are as follows: Event 1: x1=x0 , t1=x0/c Event 2: x2=2x0, t2=x0/2c a. There exists a frame in which these events occur at the same time. Find the velocity of this frame with respect to S. b. What is the value of t at which both events occur in the new frame?
In 1977 the planet Alderaan, with a mass of 3 x 1024 kg, exploded. Assuming it was initially at rest and experienced no external interactions, 3. A) If the planet blew apart into two pieces with 40% of its mass flying away in one piece at 4,000 km/s, what speed did the rest of the planet have relative to its original frame? B) If the planet blew apart into three pieces, with 30% of its mass flying away at 3,000 km/s, and 20% of its mass flying away at 5,000 km/s at an angle of 120° relative to the velocity direction of the first fragment, what velocity did the rest of the planet have? Report the direction by specifying its angle relative to the velocity direction of the first fragment.

A particle has a rest energy of 4.31×10−13 J and a total energy of 8.33×10−13 J. Calculate the momentum p of the particle.
If 2 marbles (of same mass and speed) travel from one end of a straight line runway and strike a line of marbles, is it possible to have only one marble to pop off the other end of the line at twice the speed? Why? (explain based on momentum and kinetic energy) I tried to find the momentum for the single marble and got 2mv and found the kinetic energy to be 2mv^2 but I'm not sure if it's right or how to how to explain it if it is possible or not.
A particle of mass M, which was initially at rest, is hit by a particle of mass m, which is travelling at the speed Vi. The two particles collide and travel in different directions at the same pace Vf. Find the mass ratio M/m in terms of ß = vi/c, assuming a relativistic, elastic collision. Demonstrate that this reduces to Vi 0, the nonrelativistic meaning.
