A photon with energy of 3m hits a particle of mass m at rest. the photon "back-scatters" from this interaction (meaning moves it the opposite direction) while the particle moves forward to conserve momentum. Find the back-scattered photon's energy E and the particles speed v.

A particle of mass m moves under a force F = −cx^3 where c is a positive constant. Find the potential energy function. If the particle starts from rest at x = −a, what is its velocity when it reaches x = 0? Where in the subsequent motion does it instantaneously come to rest?

A particle with total mass 6.0*m decays into a lighter particle of mass m and a photon. Assume all measurements are made in the rest frame of the initial particle. If the energy of the photon is measured to be 2.5*m, what is the gamma-factor and speed of the lighter particle?" There are multiple right answers to this, because as written, the problem is "overconstrained." The energy of the photon can't be arbitrarily set to 2.5*m, it needs to be...

A mass (m) moves along the x-axis with velocity 2v. Another particle of mass (2m) moves with velocity v along the y-axis. 1) If the two objects collide inelastically and merge, how much kinetic energy is lost to heat? 2) If instead they collide elastically and it turns out that m still moves purely along the x-axis, what is it's velocity in the final state? It may help to find the velocities of these particles in the center of mass...
