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

A car traveling at 30 m/s speeds up to 35 m/s over a period of 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

u =30 m/s

v = 35 m/s

t = 5 secs

Explanation:

a = (v- u)/t

a = (35-30)/5

a = 5/5

a = 1 m/s^2
