One of the important ways in which the Higgs boson was detected at the Large Hadron Collider was by observing a type of decay in which the Higgs鈥攚hich decays too quickly to be observed directly鈥攊s immediately transformed into two photons emitted back to back. Two photons, with momenta , were detected. What is the mass of the Higgs boson? Give your answer as a multiple of the proton mass.
A 30-m-long rocket train car is traveling from Los Angeles to New York at 0.50c when a light at the center of the car flashes. When the light reaches the front of the car, it immediately rings a bell. Light reaching the back of the car immediately sounds a siren.
a. Are the bell and siren simultaneous events for a passenger seated in the car? If not, which occurs first and by how much time?
b. Are the bell and siren simultaneous events for a bicyclist waiting to cross the tracks? If not, which occurs first and by how much time?
A 1.0 g particle has momentum 400,000 kgm/s. What is the particle鈥檚 speed in m/s?
An astronaut travels to a star system away at a speed of Assume that the time needed to accelerate and decelerate is negligible.
a. How long does the journey take according to Mission Control on earth?
b. How long does the journey take according to the astronaut?
c. How much time elapses between the launch and the arrival of the first radio message from the astronaut saying that she has arrived?
Firecracker A is from you. Firecracker B is from you in the same direction. You see both explode at the same time. Define event 1 to be 鈥渇irecracker A explodes鈥 and event 2 to be 鈥渇irecracker B explodes.鈥 Does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2? Explain.
