A proton moves with a speed of 0.895c.

(a) Calculate its rest energy. _____MeV

(b) Calculate its total energy. ____GeV

Solutions

Expert Solution

SOLUTION;

proton move with speed ,v = 0.895c

m= mass of proton =1.67*10-27 kg

A) rest energy of proton is ,E

The rest energy= 393.3 Mev

Now, the kinetic energy KE

Then total energy is

Total energy = rest energy+kinetic energy

a) rest energy = 939.3 MeV

b) total energy= 2.106 GeV

C) kinetic energy = 1.166 Gev

A proton collides elastically with another proton that is initially at rest. The incoming proton has an initial speed of 4.00e5 m/s. The incoming proton has an initial speed of 4.00e5 m/s and makes a glancing collision with the second proton (at close separations, the protons exert a repulsive electrostatic force on each other). After the collision, one proton moves off at an angle of 30.0 degrees to the original direction of motion and the second deflects at an angle...
