Explanation of Solution

Given: The reaction is p+pΛ0+Κ0+p+(?) .

Introduction:

The reaction process for given particle is balanced if charge, baryon number, lepton numbers and spin are conserved.

The total charge before and after the reaction must be same; it means, the charge must be conserved in the reaction.

Conserve the total charge before and after the reaction.

  +1+1=0+0+1+Q+2=+1+QQ=+1

Here, Q is the charge number of unknown particles.

The Baryon number before and after the reaction must be same; it means, the Baryon number must be conserved in the reaction.

Conserve the Baryon number before and after the reaction.

  +1+1=+1+0+1+B+2=+2+BB=0

Here, B is the baryon number of unknown particles.

The strangeness before and after the reaction must be same; it means, the strangeness must be conserved in the reaction.

Conserve the strangeness before and after the reaction.

  0+0=1+1+0+SS=0

Here, S is the strangeness of unknown particles.

The spin before and after the reaction must be same; it means, the spin must be conserved in the reaction.

Conserve the spin before and after the reaction.

  +12+12=+12+0+12+ss=0

Here, s is the strangeness of unknown particles.

All the above properties illustrate that the unknown particle is pion particle.

Conclusion:

Thus, the unknown particle in the reaction is pion(π+) particle.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The reaction is p+pΛ0+Κ0+p+π+ .

Formula used:

Write the expression for change in mass.

  Δm=(mp+mp)(mΛ0+mΚ0+mp+mπ+)

Here, mΛ0 is mass of baryon, mp is mass of proton, mπ+ is mass of pion, mΚ0 is mass of meson and Δm is change in mass.

Write the expression for Q value.

  Q=Δmc2

Substitute (mp+mp)(mΛ0+mΚ0+mp+mπ+) for Δm in above expression.

  Q=[(mp+mp)(mΛ0+mΚ0+mp+mπ+)]c2 …… (1)

Here, Q is the energy released and c is the speed of light.

Calculation:

Substitute 1116MeV/c2 for mΛ0 , 938.3MeV/c2 for mp , 497.7MeV/c2 for mΚ0 and 139.6MeV/c2 for mπ+ in equation (1).

  Q=[(938.3MeV/c2+938.3MeV/c2)(1116MeV/c2+497.7MeV/c2+938.3MeV/c2+139.6MeV/c2)]c2=815MeV

Conclusion:

Thus, the Q value for the reaction is 815MeV .

A bungee jumper plans to bungee jump from a bridge 64.0 m above the ground. He plans to use a uniform elastic cord, tied to a harness around his body, to stop his fall at a point 6.00 m above the water. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test he finds that when hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, his body weight stretches it by 1.55 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the bridge. (a) What length of cord should he use? Use subscripts 1 and 2 respectively to represent the 5.00 m test length and the actual jump length. Use Hooke's law F = KAL and the fact that the change in length AL for a given force is proportional the length L (AL = CL), to determine the force constant for the test case and for the jump case. Use conservation of mechanical energy to determine the length of the rope. m (b) What maximum acceleration will he…
