Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 33QAP

Kinetic energy of the proton and antiproton =0.312GeV

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Total energy is =2.5GeV=2.5×109eV

Mass of the proton and antiproton are equal that is mp=1.67×1027Kg

Formula used:

  E=mc2

Calculation:

  E=mpc2=(1.67×1027)(3×108)=1.503×1010J

Convert Joules into eV

  1.503×1010J=1.503×1010J×1eV1.6×1019J=9.38×108eV

  E=mpc2+mpc2+Kp+KpE=2mpc2+2Kp

  Kp=E2mpc22

  =2.5×1092( 9.38× 108 c2)c22=3.12×108eV=0.312GeV

Conclusion:

Kinetic energy of the proton and antiproton =0.312GeV

To determine

(b)

The kinetic energy of the proton with 1.25 more kinetic energy than antiproton

Answer to Problem 33QAP

Kinetic energy of the proton and antiproton =0.312GeV

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Total energy is =2.5GeV=2.5×109eV

Mass of the proton and antiproton are equal that is mp=1.67×1027Kg

Formula used:

  E=mc2

Calculation:

  E=mpc2=(1.67×1027)(3×108)=1.503×1010J

Convert Joules into eV

  1.503×1010J=1.503×1010J×1eV1.6×1019J=9.38×108eV

  E=mpc2+mpc2+1.25Kp+KpE=2mpc2+2.25Kp

  Kp=E2mpc22.25

  =2.5×1092( 9.38× 108 c2)c22.25=2.77×108eV=0.277GeV

Conclusion:

Kinetic energy of the proton and antiproton =0.312GeV
