(a) Use the reference frame of the stationary particle and draw before and after diagrams, labeling all the particles and their directions of motion
(b) Write down conservation conditions relevant to this process.
(c) What is the velocity of the resulting composite particle in terms of E and m0?
The answer is attached ..please go through steps..dont downvote please ask first

Special Relativity A photon of energy E collides with a stationary particle of rest mass m0 and is absorbed. What is the velocity of the resulting composite particle? NOTE: I used consrvation of momentum: p(before) = p(after), therefore p/c (energy of photon) = gamma*m0*v and solved for v. Apparently this is incorrect????

A team discovered an m-mass tetron, an 8-quark particle decaying into four identical muons in a symmetrical tetrahedral pattern. The tetron is stationary until it decays. The four daughter muons carry the same total energy and have a resting mass of 0.149M 1). M, determine the magnitude of the energy E and the momentum p0 meson. Conservation laws may at least partially apply to this problem. 2). suppose that the four muons of relativistic momentum decayed by the doppler are:...

Use Conservation of Mass-Energy to determine how much kinetic energy is released when Radium-224 decays into Radon-220 and Helium-4 (an alpha particle). The relevant masses are mRa = 224.020186u, mRn = 220.011368u, and mHe = 4.002603u. Kinetic energy released: A Uranium-236 nucleus that is initially at rest has a mass of 2.9e-25 kg and is initially at rest. When it decays, it creates two fragments that fly off in opposite directions. Fragment #1 moves to the left at a velocity...
Scattering #1 Consider the "downstep" potential shown. A particle of mass m and energy E, incident from the left, strikes a potential energy drop-off of depth Vo 0 (2 pts) Using classical physics, consider a particle incident with speed vo. Use conservation of energy to find the speed on the right vf. ALSO, what is the probability that a given particle will "transmit" from the left side to the right side (again, classically)? A. B. (4 pts) This problem is...
Please solve only (e), and only if you're certain you're correct. Thank you. Angular momentum and choice of origin: Adding angular momentum to a collision problem often feels confusing or ad hoc. What we're going to do here is verify that adding angular momentum to a collision problem isn't incompatible with anything we've done previously, by considering a very simple collision problem: One particle, moving with a velocity vo, collides with another, sticks with it, and then they move together...
Hi, can you solve the question for me step by step, I will rate up if the working is correct. I will post the answer together with the question. Answer: Question 5 A particle of mass m rests on a smooth horizontal track. It is connected by two springs to fixed points at A and B, which are a distance 2lo apart as shown in Figure Q5. The left-hand spring has natural length 2lo and stiffness k, whilst the right-hand...
4. Consider a different 5.0 kg, are hurtli momentum collision: two lumps of plutonium, with masses m 2.0 kg and m2 c ing towards each other. These two pieces then fuse into a larger clump of plutonium with mass M that is moving at a velocity vse. Assume m is moving at v, 0.6c to the right. a. Draw you for Problem 1. Make sure to label their velocities, directions, and masses a sketch of the plutonium pieces before and...
Problem: Learning to fly In this example, we will apply conservation of energy, including potential energy, together with Newton’s laws and the expression for the acceleration in the radial direction of an object moving on a circular path. A young fledgling bird of mass m is sat at the very top of a dome, which is circular in cross section of radius R. Starting with an initial velocity of zero, the bird starts to slide down the dome. There is...
