Two protons (rest mass M = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg) move at same speed in opposite directions. After bumping into each other the protons remain, but as a consequence of the bump a new particle is created, which has a rest mass m = 1.75 * 10^-28 kg.
a) Calculate the protons' speed at the beginning by assuming that all particles are in rest after the bump. Give your answer in the unit light speed c.
b) Calculate the proton's kinetic energy in unit MeV.
c) Calculate the new particle's rest energy in unit MeV.

-31 1 Electrons have a rest mass of 9.1095x103"kg(0.511 MeV/c2) and an energy of 0.511 MeV million electron volts) when at rest. In a colliding beam experiment, a beam of electrons accelerated to a high speed is sent toward a beam of antielectrons (same mass as electrons) moving in the opposite direction at the same speed. a.) Experimenters hope to create the J/y particle that has a rest mass energy of 3097 MeV through one of these collisions. The J/y...
The spontaneous decay of a heavy atomic nucleus of mass M = 16.5 ? 10?27 kg that is initially at rest produces three particles. The first particle, with mass m1 = 6.64 ? 10?27 kg, is ejected in the positive x direction with a speed of 1.70 ? 107 m/s.

3. (10 pts) High energy particle accelerators convert part of the energy of colliding particles into the masses of particles produced in the collisions. Consider a collision of two protons that produces two charged kaons. The mass of the proton is mp- 938.3 MeV/c2, and the mass of each kaon is mK 493.7 MeV/c2. The reaction is a) The total energy (kinetic energy and rest energy) and total momentum is conserved. Suppose one of the protons is at rest in...
