A particle of mass m is moving at speed v=c/2. At what speed does the particle have double the momentum that it has at v=c/2?
Scientists working with a particle accelerator determine that an unknown particle has a speed of 1.35 ×108 m/s and a momentum of 2.52 × 10−19 kg m/s. From the curvature of the particle’s path in a magnetic field, they also deduce that it has a positive charge. Using this information, identify the particle.
Electrons in a particle accelerator reach a speed of 0.999c relative to the laboratory. One collision of an electron with a target produces a muon that moves forward with a speed of 0.950c relative to the laboratory. The muon mass is 1.90 x 10-28 kg. What is the muon’s momentum in the laboratory frame and in the frame of the electron beam?
