A subatomic particle X spontaneously decays into two particles, A and B, each of rest energy 1.40 × 10^2 MeV. The particles fly

off in opposite directions, each with speed 0.827c relative to an inertial reference frame S. What is the total energy of particle A?

Answer:

E = 389 MeV

Explanation:

The total energy of particle A, will be equal to the sum of rest mass energy and relative energy of particle A. Therefore,

Total Energy of A = E = Rest Mass Energy + Relative Energy

Using Einstein's Equation: E = mc²

E = m₀c² + mc²

From Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, we know that:

m = m₀/[√(1-v²/c²)]

Therefore,

E = m₀c² + m₀c²/[√(1-v²/c²)]

E = m₀c²[1 + 1/√(1-v²/c²)]

where,

m₀c² = rest mass energy = 140 MeV

v = relative speed = 0.827 c

Therefore,

E = (140 MeV)[1 + 1/√(1 - (0.827c)²/c²)]

E = (140 MeV)(2.78)

<u>E = 389 MeV</u>

What force is required to accelerate a body with a mass of 15 kilograms at a rate of 8 m/s²?
mihalych1998 [28]

Newton's Second law of motion: 

                  Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                  Force = (15kg) x (8m/s²) = 120 kg-m/s² = 120 newtons

Rocket engineers use newton's third law during launch. identify the action force.
rosijanka [135]
The answer is A. Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A rocket exerts a large force on the gas that is in the rocket chamber (action). The gas thus exerts a large reaction force forward on the rocket (reaction). The large reaction force is called thrust.
