The excited K* meson has a rest mass of 1.5828E-27 kg/
a What is the rest amss energy in joules?
1.43E-10
b What is this energy in MeVs?
893.75
here's where i need help
c Now these K* are accelerated to a speed of 2.97E8 m/sec. What is the relatavistic mass of these K* in kg and MeV/c...
A particle disintegrates into two pieces: the first has mass 1.00 MeV/c^2 and momentum 1.75MeV/c
the second has mass 1.50 MeV/c^2 and momentum 2.00 MeV/c.
find the mass and speed of the original particle.
What i have done is used the fact that p=\gamma m v as well as E^2 = p^2c^2 +...
help with velocity in relativistic momentum?
a proton has 1836 times the rest mass of an electron. At what speed (in c) will an electron have the same momentum as a proton moving at .0180c?
-- here's what i have so far------------------------
1. by using the mass of a proton i...
Classical Physics states that:
p=mv
So, for special relativity, would momentum be defined in the same manner except m is now equal to the relativistic mass instead of the standard 'rest mass' as used in the classical equation?
Is it alright to say that force = rate of change of relativistic momentum
F = [ m0 v2 / (1 - v2^2/c^2)^1/2 - m0 v1/(1 - v1^2/c^2)^1/2 )] / (t2 - t1)
and can this relation be used to get sensible results for particles?
