(1 eV = 1.602 1019 J) The collision is elastic. The initially moving electron is deflected by the collision. a. Is it possible for the initially stationary electron to remain at rest after the collision? Explain. b. The initially moving electron is detected at an angle of 40.0 from its original path.

- The following pairs of energiesparticle 1: E, 2E; particle 2: E, 3E; particle 3: 2E, 4Erepresent the rest energy and total energy of three different particles. Rank the particles from greatest to least according to their (a) mass, (b) kinetic energy, and (c) speed.arrow_forwardThe Large Hadron Collider, currently the world's most famous particle accelerator, generates a beam of protons (mass m, = 1.7 × 10-27 kg), and a beam of anti-protons (which have the same mass as protons), with the same speed, moving in the opposite direction. The machine collides the protons with the antiprotons to see what they leave behind. Famously, in 2012, the experiment reached a high-enough energy scale that a long-sought subatomic particle, the "Higgs Boson" was formed, which they found to have a mass my = 2.2 × 10-25 kg. We'll do this problem in MKS units, so recall that c= 3.00 x 10%m/s. Part A: Consider the collision of a single proton with a single antiproton, merging to form a single Higgs. Calculate the "gamma factor" y for the proton or the antiproton. (Note: because the protons and the antiprotons have equal masses and equal-but-opposite velocities, their y values will be the same, and the total momentum before the collision will be zero.) Part B: Calculate the work…arrow_forwardNuclear Fusion Reaction In a human-scale model of a nuclear fusion reaction, two "deuterons" smash together head-on.

Amazingly, this reaction produces a positive Wn of 3.96 × 10 14 J -- by converting mass into kinetic energy as predicted by Einstein's E = mc².

- A particle of mass m is moving with speed 2v and collides with a mass 2m moving with speed v in the same direction. After collision, the first mass is stopped completely while the second one splits into two particles each of mass m, which move at angle 45° with respect to the original direction. The speed of each of the moving particle will be (a) √2 v (d) 2√√2 v (b) V √2 V (Ⓒ) (2√2)arrow_forwardTwo protons (each with mass mp = 1.67 x 10-27 kg) are initially moving with equal speeds in opposite directions. They continue to exist after a head-on collision that also produces a neutral pion of mass mp = 2.40 x 10-28 kg (Fig.). If all three particles are at rest after the collision, find the initial speed of the protons. Energy is conserved in the collision.arrow_forwardAn important fusion reaction in both hydrogen bombs and controlled-fusion reactors is the “DT reaction,” in which a deuteron and a triton (nuclei of heavy hydrogen isotopes) combine to form an alpha particle and a neutron with the release of much energy. Use momentum conservation to explain why the neutron resulting from this reaction receives about 80% of the energy, while the alpha particle gets only about 20%.arrow_forward
- The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of objects. A 14C nucleus can change into a different kind of element, a neighbor on the periodic table with lower mass, by emitting a beta particle – an electron or positron – plus a neutrino or an anti-neutrino. Consider the scenario where 14C ( mass of 2.34 x 10 -26) decays by emitting an electron and anti neutrino. The electron has a mass of 9.11x 10-31 kg and a speed of 5.5 x107 m/s. While the anti neutrino has a momentum of 8.5x10-24 kg-m/s. If the electron and anti neutrino are emitted at right angles from each other, calculate the recoil speed of the nucleus.arrow_forwardPo-204 (mass=204 amu) undergoes alpha decay.
