(a)
To find: Momentum of proton
(a)
Answer to Problem 61GP
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Speed of proton,
Formula used:
Relativistic momentum formula
Calculation:
Relativistic momentum of proton
Conclusion:
Momentum of proton is
(b)
To find: Total momentum of two proton
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Both proton are moving with same speed but in opposite direction. So the momentum of both proton equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.
Therefore, the sum of both momentum is zero.
(c)
To find: Momentum of one proton seen by other proton
(c)
Answer to Problem 61GP
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Speed of proton,
Formula used:
Relativistic momentum formula
Calculation:
From relativistic addition of velocities
Since the both protons are moving opposite directions
Then, the speed of one proton relative to the other
Relativistic momentum of proton seen by other proton
Conclusion:
Momentum of one proton seen by other proton is
