The momentum of a relativistic particle is given by
p= \gamma m_0 v
where
\gamma= \frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } } is the relativistic factor
m_0 is the rest mass of the particle
v is the speed particle

The rest mass of the muon is 207 times the rest mass of the electron:
m_0 = 207 m_e = 207 \cdot 9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg=1.88 \cdot 10^{-28} kg
The muon is moving at speed 0.995 c, therefore its velocity is
v=0.995 c=0.995 \cdot 2.998 \cdot 10^8 m/s =2.983 \cdot 10^8 m/s
And the relativistic factor is
\gamma =  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- (\frac{0.995 c}{c})^2 } } =10.01

If we plug these numbers into the first equation, we find the muon momentum:
p= \gamma m_0 v=(10.01)(1.88 \cdot 10^{-28} kg)(2.983 \cdot 10^8 m/s)=
=5.61 \cdot 10^{-19} kgm/s

A rod 14.0 cm long is uniformly charged and has a total charge of -22.0 μC. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net ele
lesya692 [45]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the rod, l = 14 cm = 0.14 m

Charge on the rod, q=-22\ \mu C=-22\times 10^{-6}\ C

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the net electric field produced by the charged rod at a point 36.0 cm to the right of its center along the axis of the rod, z = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Electric field at the axis of the rod is given by :

E=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o z}

Where

\lambda is the linear charge density of the rod,

\lambda=\dfrac{q}{l}=\dfrac{-22\times 10^{-6}\ C}{0.14\ m}=-0.00015\ C/m

E=\dfrac{-0.00015}{2\pi\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.36}

E = -7493170.57 N/C

or

E=-7.49\times 10^6\ N/C

Negative sign shows that the electric field is acting in inwards direction. Hence, this is the required solution.
