- Recently scientists have discovered how to contain an anti-hydrogen atom, an element made of an anti-proton and an anti-electron, both of which have the same mass as their real matter counterparts. When anti-matter and matter collide, they annihilate each other and form pure energy. How much energy is given off when anti-hydrogen and hydrogen atom collide?

He knows that energy E is a function of mass m and the speed of light c, but he doesn't know the functional relationship (E = m2c? E = mc4?). Pretend that Albert knows nothing about dimensional analysis, but since you are taking a fluid mechanics class, you help Albert come up with his equation. Use the step-by-step method of repeating variables to generate a dimensionless relationship between these parameters, showing all of your work. Compare this to Einstein's famous equation—does dimensional analysis give you the correct form of the equation?arrow_forwardThe muon is unstable and has a mean lifetime of about 2.2 microseconds. A muon is an elementary particle similar to the electron. with an electric charge of -1 e, but with a much greater mass.
