Solution :
Mass of the particle = M
Speed of travel = v
Energy of one photon after the decay which moves in the positive x direction = 233 MeV
Energy of second photon after the decay which moves in the negative x direction = 21 MeV
Therefore, the total energy after the decay is = 233 + 21
= 254 MeV
So by the law of conservation of energy, we have :
Total energy before the decay = total energy after decay
So, the total relativistic energy of the particle before its decay = 254 MeV
Answer:
Explanation: Angular velocity is the number of revolutions made per unit time.
We convert the number of revolutions to radians and the time given in seconds to minutes,
Given;
Also,
60s = 1 min
hence
We now divide the number of revolution in radians by the time in minutes.
Answer:
Tension in the string at this position: 3.1 N.
Explanation:
Convert the radius of the circle to meters:
.
What's the net force on the object?
The object is in a circular motion. As a result,
,
where
is the net force on the object,
is the mass of the object,
is the velocity of the object, and
is the radius of the circular motion.
For this object,
.
The output unit of net force should be standard if the unit for mass, velocity, and radius are all standard. The net force shall always point towards the center. In this case the net force points downwards.
What are the forces on this object?
There are two forces on the object at this moment:
- Weight,
, which points downwards.
.
- Tension,
, which also points downwards. The size of the tension force needs to be found.
What's the size of the tension force?
Gravity and tension points in the same direction. The size of their resultant force is the sum of the two forces. In other words,
.
.
