Question
A proton and anti-proton with rest energy of, Eo 931 MEV/C“ was traveling in opposite direction at a speed of, V = 0.9995*C (where C is a speed of light equal to
3.0 * 108 m/s). After travelling in a vacuum chamber, the two particles collide head on to produce a massive new particle in the center of the chamber.
What is the relative speed of positron and electron running into each other, right before collusion in unit of speed of light?
Hint: assume the speed of light ,3*10° m/s one unit, and the answer should be, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, .., n times of the speed of light, C. In other word. I want the
coefficient or the multiplying factor against the speed of light, C)
