1. An elecron's mass is 0.511 MeV/c^2 , while a proton's mass is 938.3 MeV/c^2 , which is about (938.5 MeV/c^2 ) / (0.511 MeV/c^2 ) ~ 1800 times larger. So a proton traveling at a low speed of 1 m/s would have roughly the same momentum as an electron traveling at 1800 m/s. But since neither particle can reach the speed of light, it would seem impossible for an electron to have the same momentum as a relativistic proton – one traveling at 0.1c, or 0.5c, for example. It definitely is possible, though. Explain why. The explanation will involve examining equations, but should not involve any calculations or algebra. You're welcome to find the electron's speed for practice, of course, but leave practice work out of your solution.

Write all momentum calculations in units of MeV/c and keep 5 significant figures in all answers. The mass of the proton is m = 938.3 MeV/c2 (This is equivalent to m = 1.673 x 10-27 kg, but MeV/c2 is a more convenient mass unit to use in atomic and nuclear physics calculations.).

The centre of mass, or centre of momentum, (CMS) frame is that in which the sum of the momenta (i.e., the total momentum) of all particles is zero. An electron has a kinetic energy K of 1 MeV and is incident on a proton at rest in the laboratory. The goal of this exercise is to calculate the speed of the CMS frame moving relative to the laboratory. (a) Express the initial energies Ee, Ep and initial momenta pe, pp...
