Chapter 36, Problem 84GP

An unknown particle is measured to have a negative charge and a speed of 2.24 × 108 m/s. Its momentum is determined to be 3.07 × 10−22 kg·m/s. Identify the particle by finding its mass.

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.
An evacuated tube uses a potential difference of ΔV = 0.38 kV to accelerate electrons, which then hit a copper plate and produce X-rays Write an expression for the non-relativistic speed of these electrons v in terms of e, ΔV, and m, assuming the electrons start from rest.  Calculate the non-relativistic speed of these electrons v in m/s.
