Answer:
A) 1268 MeV
B) 299MeV/c
C) 1268 MeV
Explanation:
Given :
π meson rest energy = 139.6 MeV
Speed = 0.921c
proton at rest energy = 938.3 MeV
a) Find the total relativistic energy of resulting composite particle
E = E(meson) + E(proton)
= [tex]\frac{(mc^2)_{meson} }{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } } + (mc^2)_{proton}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{139.6MeV}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.906c)^2}{c^2} } } + 938.3[/tex]
E = 1268 MeV
B) determine the total linear momentum of the composite particle
= 299MeV/c
attached below is the detailed solution
C) Determine the rest energy of the composite particle
E = 1268 MeV
