- Theorists have had spectacular success in predicting previously unknown particles. Considering past theoretical triumphs, why should we bother to perform experiments?arrow_forwardAll final answer must be up to the 3rd decimal places with the appropriate units. (a) Viewers of Star Trek hear of an antimatter drive on the Starship Enterprise. One possibility for such a futuristic energy source is to store antimatter charged particles in a vacuum chamber, circulating in a magnetic field, and then extract them as needed. Antimatter annihilates with normal matter, producing pure energy. What strength magnetic field is needed to hold antiprotons, moving at 5.00 ×107 m/s in a circular path 2.00 m in radius? Antiprotons have the same mass as protons but the opposite (negative) charge. (b) Is this field strength obtainable with today’s technology or is it a futuristic possibility?arrow_forwardNeeds Complete typed solution with 100 % accuracy.arrow_forward
- The explosive energy of a ton of TNT is 4.184*109 Joules, according to Google. A megaton of TNT is a million times that. According to Wikipedia, the Tsar Bomba (Links to an external site.) was the most powerful thermonuclear weapon ever exploded, at 50 megatons of TNT. (For comparison, the explosive energy of WWII nuclear bombs was about 20 kilotons.) Suppose one kg of antimatter came into contact with matter. How would the explosive energy compare with the explosive energy of the Tsar Bomba? (c = 3 * 108 m/s) Group of answer choices 1.There is no way to compare the two. 2.The kg of antimatter would produce at least a hundred times more energy. 3.The Tsar Bomba produced at least a hundred times more energy than the kg of antimatter. 4. They would be approximately the same.arrow_forwardPlease show a complete, detailed solution for this problem. Thank you!arrow_forwardPlease answer all three parts! Thank you. Stanford has a linear particle accelerator (SLAC) which is 3 km long that produces electrons with a total energy of 50 GeV. These electrons lead exciting (albeit brief) lives, zooming along the accelerator before slamming into a target to produce other high-energy particles. a. Consider the viewpoint of one of the electrons. From the electron’s point of view, how long is the accelerator? Note that it is possible to answer this question without calculating the electron’s velocity. b. Let’s figure out how fast the electrons are traveling. Start by solving for β = u/c in terms of 1/γ following the trick we used in class. Use the binomial expansion if that is helpful. At what speed does a 50 GeV electron travel? c. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN presently accelerates protons to a total energy of 6.5 TeV. Imagine a pulse of light, a 50 GeV electron, and a 6.5 TeV proton race each other along a 3 km distance. The light pulse will surely win…arrow_forward
