If the mass particle is of 2 kg (constant without uncertainty): report the change of kinetic energy, ΔK= ½ m (??)^2 - ½ m (??)^2, calculating from the measurements
A particle has γ=2,865.
a) Calculate c-v in m/s.
If your calculator gives problems, you might want to solve the appropriate equation for c-v or c(1 - v/c) and use an approximation.
b) In the previous problem, in a race to the moon, by 3/4ths the distance, light is one or ten meters ahead of the particle. We routinely approximate mass as zero, gamma as infinite, and speed as the speed of light. ("Massless particles" -- gamma and m have to be eliminated from the expressions. Light is a true massless particle.)
If a massless particle has momentum 2,910 MeV/c, calculate its energy in MeV.
A science teacher tells her class that their final project requires students to measure a specific variable anddetermine the velocity of a car with no more than 2.5% error. Jennifer and Johnny work hard and decide thevelocity of the car is 34.87 m/s. The teacher informs them that the actual velocity is 34.15 m/s. Will Jennifer andJohnny pass their final project?
