A K+-meson (with a rest mass of 493.7 MeV/c2) initially at rest decays into a μ+ (positive muon with rest mass of 105.7 MeV/c2), Two photons and a neutrino (assume exactly zero rest mass - not quite true). The Muon is observed to move along the x-axis with momentum 100MeV/c. The two photons are observed to have identical energies but opposite directions along the positive and negative y-axes. The neutrino (not shown) is unseen. Find the energies of the photons.Hint:...

Two identical steel balls, each of mass 70.8 g, are moving in opposite directions at 4.20 m/s.They collide head-on and bounce apart elastically. By squeezing one of the balls in a vise while precise measurements are made of the resulting amount of compression, you find that Hooke's law is a good model of the ball's elastic behavior. A force of 16.5 kN exerted by each jaw of the vise reduces the diameter by 0.120 mm. Model the motion of each...

An electron and an antielectron (positron) each have a rest energy of 0.511 MeV , or approximately 8.2×10-14 J . When an electron and a positron are both stationary and located next to each other during an annihilation process, their mass energy converts to electromagnetic energy released as photons, electromagnetic particles that have momentum but no mass and that travel at the speed of light. What is the minimum number of photons that could be released, and how much energy...
