An electron moves to the right with a speed of 0.82c relative to the laboratory frame. A proton moves to the left with a speed of 0.60c relative to the electron. Find the speed of the proton relative to the laboratory frame.
Please show all work.
Homework Answers
From the addition of velocities
u ' = u + v / 1 + ( uv/c^2 )
= ( 0.82 c ) - (0.60 c ) / 1 - [(0.82c)(0.60c)/c^2 ]
=0.433 c

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...

A reference frame S' moves with a constant speed v=0.800c along the x axis relative to a second reference frame S. A particle is observed from reference frame S' to be moving with velocity 0.400c (along the positive x' axis). What would be the velocity of the particle as measured by an observer in reference frame S?

The average lifetime of mu-mesons with a speed of 0.95c is measured to be 6 times 10^-6 s. Compute the average lifetime of mu-mesons in a system in which they are at rest. Pions have a half-life of 1.8 times 10^-8 s. A pion beam leaves a particle accelerator at a speed of 0.8c. What is the expected distance over which half of the pions should decay classically? Relativistically? Rocket A travels to the right and rocket B travels to...

3) Two particles fly apart in opposite directions in a laboratory. Particle A travels to the left at speed 0.06c, and particle B travels to the right at speed 0.09c (both speeds are relative to the laboratory). We wish to calculate the relative velocity of particles A and B using the Galilean transformation. a) Using a figure, show which object in this scenario defines the Home frame and which object defines the Other frame.

In certain radioactive beta decay processes, the beta particle (an electron) leaves the atomic nucleus with a speed of99.95% the speed of light relative to the decaying nucleus. In the laboratory frame, the nucleus is moving at 75.00% the speed of light, and the electron is emitted in the same direction the nucleus is moving. Find the energy and momentum of the electron as measured in the laboratory frame and in the rest frame of the decaying nucleus.
