Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience this effect in everyday life. This effect is only observed when an object moves with some velocity comparable to the velocity of light. This velocity is termed relativistic velocity.

The Sun is powered by releasing hydrogen to helium. Through either the proton-proton chain or the CNO cycle, the basic reaction is 4 1H morph into 1 4He, releasing nuclear binding energy (and losing mass) in the process. The mass of one proton 1H is 1.6726 x 10-24 gm and the mass of one helium nucleus 4He is 6.6447 x 10-24 gm. What is the mass difference in gm between 4 protons and one helium nucleus? Calculate the ratio of the mass difference to the original mass of the 4 protons as a comparison.

You are working for an alternative energy company. Your supervisor has an idea for a new energy source. He wants to build a matter-antimatter reactor that will convert the entire mass of the matter and antimatter into recoverable energy, with no waste. He has lofty ideas; he wants his reactor to provide energy to the entire world, replacing coal, fossil fuel, hydroelectric, wind, thermal, and nuclear energy sources in all countries. (a) He asks you to determine the masses of the supply of matter and antimatter that will need to be combined to provide the world’s needs for one year. (b) He also asks you to determine how large the storage containers must be to hold a 5.0-yr supply of the matter and antimatter while it is waiting to be used in the reactor. The current energy consumption worldwide is about 4.0 × 1020 J per year, and the matter and antimatter will have approximately the density of aluminum, 2.70 g/cm3.
