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

An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th
zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega

A child uses a rubber band to launch a bottle cap at an angle of 37.0° above the horizontal. The cap travels a horizontal distan
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec      

Explanation:

Let the initial speed = u

Angle at which rubber band is launched = 37°

Horizontal component of initial velocity u_x=ucos\Theta =ucos37^{\circ}=0.7986u

Time is given as t = 1.20 sec

Distance in horizontal direction = 1.30 m

We know that distance = speed × time

So time t=\frac{distance}{speed}

1.20=\frac{1.3}{0.7986u}

u=1.356m/sec

So initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec

If a cart of 2 kg mass has a force of 8 newtons exerted on it, what is its acceleration?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Force = mass * acceleration

F = ma

8 N =  2 kg * a

8 = 2a

2a = 8

a = 8/2 = 4

acceleration = 4 m/s²

Consider a situation in which you are moving two point charges such that the potential energy between them decreases. (NOTE: ign
Oxana [17]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The potential energy decreases in the case when the charges are opposite and they attract each other.

In this case there is no external energy required in order to put the charges together.

This is so because the charges are opposite and they will attract each other. Yes, the only condition should be that the charges should be alike.

Example: a negative charge and a positive charge.
