The spin- 32Σ*0baryon(see table in Problem 24) has a rest energy of (1385 MeVwith an intrinsic uncertainty ignored here); the spin12Σ0- baryonhas a rest energyof.1192.5 MeVIf each of these particles has a kinetic energy of 1000 MeV,

(a) which is moving faster and

(b) by how much?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The spin- 12Σ0baryon is moving faster.

(b) It is moving faster by.7.5×106 ms

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Rest energy of thespin-32Σ∗0 baryon

E0∗=1385 M±ð³Õ

Rest energy of the spin- 12Σ0baryon

E0=1192.5 M±ð³Õ

Kinetic energy of the two particles

K=1000 M±ð³Õ

02

Step 2:Determine the formula for the relativistic energy.

The relativistic kinetic energy of a particle moving with velocity v and having rest energy E0 is:

K=(11-v2c2-1)E0 ..... (I)

Here,c is the speed of light in vacuum with value

c=3×108 ms

03

Determinethe particle with greater velocity

(a)

Let the velocity of the spin-32Σ∗0 baryonbe v∗. Then from equation (I)

K=(11−v∗2c2−1)E0∗

Substitute the values and solve as:

1000 M±ð³Õ=(11−v∗2c2−1)×1385 M±ð³Õ11−v∗2c2=1.722v∗2c2=0.663v∗=0.814c

Let the velocity of the spin-12Σ0 baryon be .v Then from equation (I)

K=(11−v2c2−1)E0

Substitute the values and solve as:

1000 M±ð³Õ=(11−v2c2−1)×1192.5 M±ð³Õ11−v2c2=1.839v2c2=0.704v=0.839c

Compare the two velocities:

v∗=0.814cv=0.839cv>v∗

Thus, the speed of the spin-12Σ0is greater.

04

Determine the difference in velocities of the two particles

7.5×106 ms(b)

The speed of the spin32Σ*0- baryon is

v∗=0.814c=0.814×3×108 ms=2.442×108 ms

The speed of the spin-12Σ0baryon is

v=0.839c=0.839×3×108 ms=2.517×108 ms

The difference in their speeds is calculated as:

v−v∗=(2.517−2.442)×108 ms=0.075×108 ms=7.5×106 ms

Thus, the difference is.7.5×106 ms
