An unstable particle at rest breaks up into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the lighter fragment is equal to 2.90 ✕ 1
motikmotik

Answer:

The speed of the heavier fragment is 0.335c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the lighter fragment M_{l}=2.90\times10^{-28}\ kg

Mass of the heavier fragment M_{h}=1.62\times10^{-27}\ Kg

Speed of lighter fragment = 0.893c

We need to calculate the speed of the heavier fragment

Let v is the speed of the second fragment after decay

Using conservation of relativistic momentum

0=\drac{m_{1}v_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}-\drac{m_{2}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}

\drac{m_{1}v_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}=\drac{m_{2}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}

\dfrac{2.90\times10^{-28}\times0.893c}{\sqrt{1-(0.893)^2}}=\dfrac{1.62\times10^{-27}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}

\dfrac{v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}=\dfrac{2.90\times10^{-28}\times0.893c}{1.62\times10^{-27}\times0.45}

\dfrac{v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}=0.355c

\dfrac{v_{2}}{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^{2}}{c^2}}=(0.355c)^2

\dfrac{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{(0.355c)}

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}-\dfrac{1}{c^2}=\dfrac{1}{(0.355c)^2}

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{c^2}+\dfrac{1}{0.126c^2}

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{c^2}(1+\dfrac{1}{0.126})

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{8.93}{c^2}

v_{2}^2=\dfrac{c^2}{8.93}

v_{2}=0.335c

Hence, The speed of the heavier fragment is 0.335c.

If the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the total energy increase?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

c)by a factor of four

Explanation:

The total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

where

k is the spring constant of the oscillator

A is the amplitude of the motion

In this problem, the amplitude of the oscillator is doubled, so

A' = 2A

Therefore, the new total energy is

E'=\frac{1}{2}k(2A)^2=4(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=4E

So, the total energy increases by a factor 4.
