A muon has a rest mass energy of 105.7 MeV, and it decays into an electron and a massless particle. If all the lost mass is converted into the electron’s kinetic energy, what is the electron’s velocity?

The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rest mass energy of muon = 105.7 MeV

We know the rest mass of electron = 0.511 Mev

We need to calculate the value of γ

Using formula of energy

Put the value into the formula

We need to calculate the electron’s velocity

Using formula of velocity

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.
