Question

It is number 10-6

The sum of the classical momenta p = mv is conserved in the lab frame. (b) Using the relativistic velocity transformation find the velocity of each ball before and after the collision in an S' frame moving to the tight velocity v_0 relative to the lab(c) Using the results of part (b), show that the total classical momentum is not conserved in S'. A photon of momentum p_gamma strikes an atom nucleus at the rest and is absorbed. If the mass of the final (excited) nucleus is M, calculate its speed. Two particles make a head-on collision, stick together, and stop dead. The first particle has mass m and speed (3/5)c, and the second has mass M and speed (4/5)c. Find M in terms of m.

Explanation / Answer

10.6)

Apply law of conservation of momentum:

P_i=MV

V=P_i/M
