An electron and a positron each have a mass of 9.11 × 10-31 kg. They collide and both vanish, with only electromagnetic radiation appearing after the collision. If each particle is moving at a speed of 0.42c relative to the laboratory before the collision, determine the energy of the electromagnetic radiation.

A positron has a mass of 9.11 x 10^-31 kg, and charge qp = +e = +1.60 x 10^-19 C. It is moving towards an α particle (qα = +2e, mα = 6.66 x 10^-27 kg) with a speed of 3.00 x 10^6 m/s. At this instant the separation between the two is 2.00 x 10^-10 m. Assume α particle stays at rest. (a) Calculate the speed of positron at 1.00 x 10^-10 m from α particle. (b) What is...

electron’s antiparticle, it has the same mass as electron, but

A positron (the electron's antiparticle) has mass 9.11 x 10-31kg and charge q0 = +e = +1.60 x 10-19 C. Suppose a positron moves directly away from an alpha particle, which has charge q = +2e. The alpha particle is stationary. When the positron is 1.00 x 10-10 m from the alpha particle, it is moving directly away from the alpha particle at 3.00 x 106 m/s. (a) What is the positron's speed when the particles are 2.00 x 10-10 m...

Let's do a little particle physics. Back in the '9os there was a large electron-positron collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, called the "Large electron-positron collider," or LEP for short. (This collider was broken down and rebuilt into an even larger one that runs to this day, called the "Large hadron collider" or LHC.) It was LEP that discovered the W and Z bosons, which mediate weak nuclear processes like the beta decay of free neutrons Anyway, near...
