An unstable particle of mass m decays in time t = 10^-10 s in its own rest frame. If its energy is E = 1000 mc^2 in the lab, how far (in meters) will it move before decaying? (Answer: 30 m)
3. A particle of rest mass m moving in the a direction at a speed of c/3 abruptly decays electromagnetically, yielding two photons. From the perspective of the home frame, the photon moving in the positive r direction is more energetic than the photon moving in the negative r direction - (a) Determine the energies and frequencies of both photons in the rest frame of the decaying particle. -(b) Using Lorentz transformations, determine the energies and frequencies of both photons...
A system consists of a particle of mass m at rest and a photon of energy E = m. What is the total system mass?
2) A particle of mass m at rest in the Home frame decays into two particles of mass that move apart in opposite directions at the same speed. Let event A be the detection of one of the particles at a distance of 10 m from the original particle, and event B be the detection of the second particle at a distance of 20 m from the original particle. a) What is the speed of each of the decay particles,...
There is a (hypothetical) subatomic particle of mass 2.9e-28 kg at rest. It decays into a daughter subatomic particle of mass 1.1e-28 kg while emiting a photon. (Assume the speed of the daughter is lower than the speed of light.) Find the kinetic energy of the daughter particle. (In Joules) (i got the answer 1.49e-11 but this is not correct)
PHYS10121 a) A particle of rest mass m is travelling so that its total energy is 2mc. It collides with a stationary particle of rest mass m to form a new single particle. What is the 2. rest mass of the new particle? 9 marks] b) A photon hits an electron at rest and produces an electron-positron pair according to the reaction γ+ e- e" + e-+e+, what is the smallest possible photon energy for this to occur? You may...
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:...
3. (4 points) Photon collision! A photon with energy 2m hits a particle of mass m at rest. The photon back-scatters from this intcraction (that is, it movics in the opposite dircction) white the particle moves forward to conscrve momentum. Find the back-scattered photon's encrgy E and the particle's speed |]. (algebraically, not using cnergy momentum diagrams)
Second part of part c) please! The bit that asks about the particle travelling 75m in the laboratory before it decays. Determine its lifetime in the lab frame and then in its rest frame. -+160% are s two postulates of Special Relativity 4 marks) b) Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an eleetron moving at a speed of 0.70c. The rest mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10-31 kg. 5 mar c) An elementary particle has a total energy...
2. An exotic particle with mass 10TeV/c? at rest is hit by a 1TeV gamma particle (a high energy photon). The gamma particle is completely absorbed and the exotic particle is transformed into another one. (a) What is the mass of the resulting particle? (Hint: use E2 = (pc)2 + (mc)). (b) How fast is the resulting particle moving? (c) Is there a frame of reference in which the resulting particle is not moving? if so, what is the energy...
