Two particles of mass m and 2m head directly at each-other, collide, and become a new particle. The heavier particle is moving at .8c. Is it possible for the new particle to be at rest at it's creation? If not, why? If so, what is the mass of the final particle in terms of m? (c = speed of light)
In both cases, derive equations and show how you would figure out your chosen answer.

Two pieces of clay are moving directly toward each other. When they collide, they stick together and move as one piece. One piece having mass 300~\text{g}300 g is moving to the right at a speed of 1~\text{m/s}1 m/s. The other piece has mass 600~\text{g}600 g and is moving to the left at a speed of 0.75~\text{m/s}0.75 m/s. Use momentum conservation to determine the velocity of the combined clay piece after they collide. (Note: you can treat this as a one-dimensional...

5.Two relativistic particles of mass m crash into each other, fusing to form a particle of mass M, at rest in the lab, with no other particles emitted. Assuming that each mass m particle had (lab frame magnitude) momentum p prior to the collision, evaluate M in terms of m and p. Was momentum conserved in the fusion event?

Two particles approach each other with equal and opposite speed, v . The mass of one particle is m , and the mass of the other particle is n m , where n is just a unitless number. Snapshots of the system before, during, and after the elastic collision are shown. Elasic collision in three stages. Before the collision, a ball of mass m moves to right at speed v and a ball of mass n times m moves to...
