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?
Homework Answers
Here total Energy should be conserved.
so, M = 2*m + 2*p^2/(2*m)
= 2*m + p^2/m
Yes. momentum is conserved in the fusion in event. In any event momentum must be conserved.

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.
