Answer:

A) 1268 MeV

B)  299MeV/c

C) 1268 MeV

Explanation:

Given :

π meson rest energy = 139.6 MeV

Speed = 0.921c

proton at rest energy = 938.3 MeV

a) Find the total relativistic energy of resulting composite particle

E = E(meson) + E(proton)

  = \frac{(mc^2)_{meson} }{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } } + (mc^2)_{proton}

  = \frac{139.6MeV}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.906c)^2}{c^2} } }  + 938.3

E = 1268 MeV

B) determine the total linear momentum of the composite particle

= 299MeV/c

attached below is the detailed solution

C) Determine the rest energy of the composite particle

E = 1268 MeV

Two pendulum bobs have equal masses and lengths (8.100 m). bob a is initially held horizontally while bob b hangs vertically at
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Since both hv same mass and elsstic collision, so their velocity will exchange. Bob A will stop and bob B will move with speed of A just before the collision.

Speed will be = squreroot ( 2*g*L)

L is length of pendulum

A tub of water is placed in a small room and heat is removed from the room. What will most likely occur if enough heat is remove
NARA [144]

Answer:

(A)The water will freeze.

Explanation:

Heat is the energy that when transferred causes change in temperature. If heat is added to a body by some process the bodies temperature increases and if heat is removed from a body by some process the temperature reduces.

In this case if enough heat is removed from the room the internal movement of the water particles will slow down causing the water to form crystal lattice thus forming ice. So, the water will freeze.

So lost on this one number 1 ?
kirza4 [7]

Read each statement, one at a time, and form the picture in your mind.

<em>Statement #1</em> should make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Statements #2, #3, and #4 should make your red flag wave on the inside, and should make you giggle on the outside when you realize how absurd each of those is.
