A positive kaon (K+) has a rest mass of 494 MeV/c² , whereas a proton has a rest mass of 938 MeV/c². If a kaon has a total energ
vitfil [10]

Answer:

<em>0.85c </em>

Explanation:

Rest mass of Kaon M_{0K} = 494 MeV/c²

Rest mass of proton M_{0P}  = 938 MeV/c²

The rest energy is gotten by multiplying the rest mass by the square of the speed of light c²

for the kaon, rest energy E_{0K} = 494c² MeV

for the proton, rest energy E_{0P} = 938c² MeV

Recall that the rest energy, and the total energy are related by..

E = γE_{0}

which can be written in this case as

E_{K} = γE_{0K} ...... equ 1

where E = total energy of the kaon, and

E_{0} = rest energy of the kaon

γ = relativistic factor = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }

where \beta = \frac{v}{c}

But, it is stated that the total energy of the kaon is equal to the rest mass of the proton or its equivalent rest energy, therefore...

E_{K} = E_{0P} ......equ 2

where E_{K} is the total energy of the kaon, and

E_{0P} is the rest energy of the proton.

From E_{K} = E_{0P} = 938c²    

equ 1 becomes

938c² = γ494c²

γ = 938c²/494c² = 1.89

γ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } } = 1.89

1.89\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } = 1

squaring both sides, we get

3.57( 1 - \beta^{2}) = 1

3.57 - 3.57\beta^{2} = 1

2.57 = 3.57\beta^{2}

\beta^{2} = 2.57/3.57 = 0.72

\beta = \sqrt{0.72} = 0.85

but, \beta = \frac{v}{c}

v/c = 0.85

v = <em>0.85c </em>

levacccp [35]

The actual weight of the gas = apparent weight + weight.

The actual weight = W_{A} + W

Given that a plastic bag is massed. It is then filled with a gas which is insoluble in water and massed again.

If the apparent weight of the gas is the difference between these two masses, then let the apparent weight = W_{A}

The gas is squeezed out of the bag to determine its volume by the displacement of water. Since

density = mass / volume

The density of water is 1000 kg/m^{2}

we can get the mass of the gas by making m the subject of the formula.

W = mg

The actual weight of the gas = apparent weight + weight

That is,

The actual weight =  W_{A} + W
