A particle of rest energy mc2 is moving with speed v in the positive x direction. The particle decays into two particles, each of rest energy 140 MeV. One particle, with kinetic energy 282 MeV, moves in the positive x direction, and the other particle, with kinetic energy 25 MeV, moves in the negative x direction. Find the rest energy of the original particle and its speed.

Answer from: carolinamleal04

The rest energy of the particle is mc^2 = 498 MeV

The velocity of the particle is v = 1.587 *10^8 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The rest energy of the original particle is E = mc^2

The speed of the particle is

The rest energy the first particle is (mc^2)_1 = 140 MeV1

The rest energy of the second particle is (mc^2)_2= 140MeV

The first particle has a kinetic energy of KE = 282 MeV positive x

The second particle has a kinetic energy of KE_2 = 25 MeV negative x

The total energy of the first particle is

E_1 = (mc^2)_1 + KE_1

Substituting values

E_1 = 140 + 282

E_1 = 422 MeV

The total energy of the first particle is

E_1 = (mc^2)_2 + KE_2

E_1 = 140 + 25

E_1 =165MeV

The momentum of the first particle can be mathematically evaluated using this expression

$p__{1 }}= \sqrt{E^2_1 - ((mc^2)_1) ^2}$

$p__{1 }}= \sqrt{422^2 - 140^2}$

$p__{1 }}= 398MeV$

The final energy of both particle is mathematically evaluated as

E = E_1 + E_2

E = 422 + 165

E = 587 MeV

The momentum of the first particle can be mathematically evaluated using this expression

$p__{2 }}= - \sqrt{E^2_2 - ((mc^2)_2) ^2}$

The negative sign shows that he direction is negative x-axis

$p__{2 }}= -\sqrt{165^2 - 140^2}$

$p__{2 }}= -87MeV$

The final momentum of both particle is mathematically evaluated as

P = p_1 + p_2

Substituting value

P = 398 - 87

P = 311 MeV

According to the law of conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy the final energy and momentum of both particle must be equal to the initial energy of the original particle

Then the rest energy is mathematically represented as

$mc^2 = \sqrt{E^2 - P^2}$

Substituting values

$mc^2 = \sqrt{587 ^2 - 311^2}$

mc^2 = 498 MeV

The velocity of the original particle can be obtained from the mathematical expression as follows

$v = c\sqrt{1 - [\frac{(mc^2)}{E}]^2 }$

Where c is the speed of light with value c = 3.0 *10^8 m/s

Substituting value

$v = 3*10^8 *\sqrt{1 - [ \frac{498}{587}] ^2}$

v = 1.587 *10^8 m/s

Answer from: Quest

answer: the rock sample is a sedimentary rock.

explanation:

it is given that:

mass of rock sample, m = 2.7 g

volume of rock sample, $v = 1.1 cm^{3}$

so, density of rock sample will be

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

$\rho =\frac{2.7}{1.1}g/cm^{3}\\\\\rho =2.45 g/cm^{3}$

since, the density of rock sample is $2.45 g/cm^{3}$ . hence, the rock sample is a sedimentary rock, whose densities varies between $2g/cm^{3} - 2.6 g/cm^{3}$ .

Fill in the blanks with the numbers is a measure of the resistance to flow. a high liquid has a high resistance to flow and flows slowly. the ancients thought everything in the world was made of 4 we now know that there are 94 naturally occurring and scientists have created another 24 i am certain they will create even more. honey flows slowly because it has a high to flowing. a can be separated by physical means because it contains more than one pure substance and 2 pure substances are not chemically bonded to each other. a cannot be separated by physical means. all matter is made up of all elements are with the same number of protons. if it is just a single or many bonded together, if all of them have the same number of protons, it is an element. in a piece of pure iron metal, all the are joined together, that piece of iron metal is called elemental iron. a single of iron is called elemental iron. a mixture has differences from place to place. we might need a microscope to see them or they might be obvious to the unaided eye. there are surfaces separating it into different phases. a mixture is the same everywhere. it is uniform. there are no surfaces separating it into different phases. if different kinds of atoms (different elements) are bonded together by their electrons, it is called a there are physical means of to isolate the different pure substances in a mixture and there are chemical means of to isolate the different elements in a compound. 1. element 2. compound 3. mixture 4. heterogeneous 5. homogeneous 6. pure substance 7. atoms 8. separation 9. viscosity 10. resistance

The inside surface of a cylindrical-shaped cave of inner diameter 1.0 m is continuously covered with a very thin layer of water. the cave is very long and it is open on both ends. the water on the cave surface is at a constant temperature of 15.5 °c. the cave is constantly exposed to wind such that 15.5 °c air flows through the cave at 4.5 m/s. the kinematic viscosity of the air is 14.66 x 10-6 m2/s and the molecular diffusion coefficient of water vapor in the air is 0.239 x 10-4 m2/s. because the cave diameter is so large, the flow of wind down the length of the cave, in the x direction, can be treated like it is external flow and the cave surface can be approximated as flat where appropriate. calculate the x value, in a) the transition to turbulent flow occurs at rex meters, where the air flow transitions from laminar to turbulent along the inside surface of the cave b) calculate the x value, in meters, where the bulk steady state concentration of water vapor in the air flowing in the cave is 10% of the saturation concentration. assume the air at the surface of the water layer is 100% saturated with water vapor. assume the wind entering the cave contained no moisture before it entered the cave. take into account the transition from laminar to turbulent flow when solving part b
