Two particles of mass m and 2m head directly at each-other, collide, and become a new particle. The heavier particle is moving at .8c. Is it possible for the new particle to be at rest at it's creation? If not, why? If so, what is the mass of the final particle in terms of m? (c = speed of light)
In both cases, derive equations and show how you would figure out your chosen answer.

Two pieces of clay are moving directly toward each other. When they collide, they stick together and move as one piece. One piece having mass 300~\text{g}300 g is moving to the right at a speed of 1~\text{m/s}1 m/s. The other piece has mass 600~\text{g}600 g and is moving to the left at a speed of 0.75~\text{m/s}0.75 m/s. Use momentum conservation to determine the velocity of the combined clay piece after they collide. (Note: you can treat this as a one-dimensional...

Suppose in a reference frame S, two objects collide elastically. Particle 1 of mass m1 = 2m is initally at rest, and particle 2 of mass m2 = m is moving with an initial velocity of u2i = −0.75c (negative means moving in the −x direction). The two particles collide elastically. Using classical momentum and energy conservation, an observer in frame S calculates the velocities after collision to be u1f = −0.5c, u2f = 0.25c. (a) Verify that the kinetic...

5.Two relativistic particles of mass m crash into each other, fusing to form a particle of mass M, at rest in the lab, with no other particles emitted. Assuming that each mass m particle had (lab frame magnitude) momentum p prior to the collision, evaluate M in terms of m and p. Was momentum conserved in the fusion event?
