The mean lifetime of stationary muons is measured to be . The mean lifetime of high-speed muons in a burst of cosmic rays observed from Earth is measured to be . To five significant figures, what is the speed parameter of these cosmic-ray muons relative to Earth?
To circle Earth in low orbit, a satellite must have a speed of about 2.7 x 104 km/h. Suppose that two such satellites orbit Earth in opposite directions. (a) What is their relative speed as they pass, according to the classical Galilean velocity transformation equation? (b) What fractional error do you make in (a) by not using the (correct) relativistic transformation equation?
Question: What is for a particle with (a) and (b) ?
Question:(a) If m is a particle’s mass, p is its momentum magnitude, and K is its kinetic energy, show that
(b) For low particle speeds, show that the right side of the equation reduces to m. (c) If a particle has K = 55.0 MeV when p=121 MeV/c, what is the ratio m/me of its mass to the electron mass?
Figure 37-20 shows the triangle of Fig 37-14 for six particles; the slanted lines 2 and 4 have the same length. Rank the particles according to (a) mass, (b) momentum magnitude, and (c) Lorentz factor, greatest first. (d) Identify which two particles have the same total energy. (e) Rank the three lowest-mass particles according to kinetic energy, greatest first.
