A particle in a 436 m long particle accelerator is moving at 0.875 c. How long does the particle accelerator appear to the particle?
Answers: A. 211 m B. 100m C. 567 D. 901m
You have to use relativity. Use this equation:
L=Lp*sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
plug numbers into equation.
L=453*sqrt(1-.875)=160 m

After being created in a high-energy particle accelerator, a pi meson at rest has an average lifetime of 2.60 10-8 s. Traveling at a speed very close to the speed of light, a pi meson travels a distance of 127 m before decaying. How fast is it moving? (Enter your answer to four significant figures.)
long thin rod length h A particle, with mass m, is moving through space with constant velocity v, as shown in the diagram. COM It eventually collides with and sticks to the end of a long thin uniform rod, which has mass M and length /h and is initially at rest. The mass of the particle (m) is negligible compared with the mass of the rod. (a) Show the angular momentum of the particle about the COM of the rod...
