4. An electron moving at a speed of v₁= 0.960c in the positive x direction collides with another electron at rest. After the collision, one electron is observed to move with a speed of V₁f = 0.956c at an angle of 0₁ = 9.7° with the x axis. (a) Use conservation of momentum to find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the second electron. (b) Based only on the original data given in the problem, use conservation of energy to find the speed of the second electron.
A particle detector can be used to measure the speed of an unstable particle if the lifetime is known. Particle 'X' has mean lifetime 7 in its rest frame. Suppose 'X' particles are created in an experiment inside the detector by a nuclear reaction. If the 'X' particles leave tracks with mean length L before they decay into other particles, what is the mean speed of the 'X' particles? Express the answer in terms of the speed of light. T = 282.0 ps; L= 10.5 cm;

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?
