1 Chapter 2 Relativity II. Home Work Solutions 2.1 Problem 2.4 (In the text book) A charged particle moves along a straight line in a uniform electric field E with a speed v. If the motion and the electric field are both in the x direction, (a) show that the magnitude of the acceleration of the charge q is given by a dv dt qe m (1 v2 ) 3/2 (b) Discuss the significance of the dependence of the acceleration on the speed. (c) If the particle starts from rest at x 0 at t 0, find the speed of the particle and its position after a time t has elapsed. Comment on the limiting values of v and x as t Solution (a) The electric force on the charged particle is F qe dp dt d dt (γmv) ( ) m d v dt 1 v2 /

When v c then a qe/m which is the classical expression for the acceleration. (c) Using the expression for the acceleration from section (a), and a dv/dt, we get: dv dt qe m (1 v2 (1 v2 ) 3/2 dv qe m cd(v/c) qe (1 v 2 / ) 3/2 m dt d(v/c) t qe 0 (1 v 2 / ) 3/2 0 mc dt [ ] v [ ] t (v/c) qet 1 v2 / mc 0 0 v/c qet 1 v2 / mc v v 2 / 1 v 2 / v 2 ( qet mc (1 v2 ) 2 ) 3/2 dt ) ( ) 2 qet mc

4 4 CHAPTER 2. RELATIVITY II. HOME WORK SOLUTIONS 2.2 Problem 2.14 (In the text book) How long will the Sun shine, Nellie? The Sun radiates about J of energy into space each second. (a) How much mass is released as radiation each second? (b) If the mass of the Sun is kg, how long can the Sun survive if the energy release continues at the present rate? Solution (a) Since E m, the radiation released from the was produced by changing part of the sun s mass into energy, the equivalent mass released every second is then: m E kg (b) The life time of the sun if it keeps radiating at the current rat is: t s years years
5 2.3. PROBLEM 2.18 (IN THE TEXT BOOK) Problem 2.18 (In the text book) Consider the decay 24 55Cr 25 55Mn + e, where e is an electron. The 55 Cr nucleus has a mass of u, and the 55 Mn nucleus has a mass of u. (a) Calculate the mass difference in MeV. (b) What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron? Solution (a) The mass difference m in atomic mass units u is: m m55 Cr m55 Mn u Given that 1u MeV/, then the mass difference in MeV is: and the equivalent energy E is: m MeV/ E 3.26 MeV (b) The electron needs to be created, i.e. its rest mass energy has to come from somewhere. E the total amount of energy available to create the electron and as kinetic energy for the electron and 55 Mn. The maximum kinetic energy KE e max the electron can get is when the nucleus of 55 Mn is created at rest, i.e. KE e max E m e MeV
6 6 CHAPTER 2. RELATIVITY II. HOME WORK SOLUTIONS 2.4 Problem 2.22 (In the text book) The K meson is an uncharged member of the particle zoo that decays into two charged pions according to K π + + π. The pions have opposite charges, as indicated, and the same mass, m 140 MeV/. Suppose that a K at rest decays into two pions in a bubble chamber in which a magnetic field of 2.0 T is present (see Figure (2.1)). If the radius of curvature of the pions is 34.4 cm, find (a) the momenta and speeds of the pions and (b) the mass of the K meson. Figure 2.1: A sketch of the tracks made by the π + and π in the decay of K meson at rest. The pion motion is perpendicular to B. (B is directed out of the page.) Solution (a) The momentum of each pion as it moved in the magnetic field is: p π q π BR π where q π is the charge of the pion q π C, B is the magnetic field and R π is the radius of the pion s path. using the numbers we get: p π kg m/s
7 2.4. PROBLEM 2.22 (IN THE TEXT BOOK) 7 we need to change the units from kg m/s to the more relevant units to nuclear reactions MeV/c. This is done as follows: kg m s kg c v c 8 kg m c s J c ev c MeV c 21 MeV c The pion momentum is, then: p π MeV/c The K meson was at rest before the decay, so conservation of momentum requires that the total momentum after decay be zero. In other words the pions should have equal and opposite momenta. Since the two pions have equal masses then they should have equal and opposite velocities. To find the velocity u pi of the pions we use p π γm π u π and E π γm π, where p and E are the momentum and total energy of each pion, p π γm πu π E π γm π u π c u π p πc E π p π c p 2 π + (m π ) (206)2 + (140)
8 8 CHAPTER 2. RELATIVITY II. HOME WORK SOLUTIONS (b) Conservation mass energy requires: E K 2E π where E K is the total relativistic energy of the the K meson and E π is the total relativistic energy of one of the pions. Since K decayed while at rest we get: m K 2 p 2 π + (m π ) 2 2 (206) 2 + (140) MeV m K 498 MeV/
9 2.5. PROBLEM 2.29 (IN THE TEXT BOOK) Problem 2.29 (In the text book) An object disintegrates into two fragments. One of the fragments has mass 1.00 MeV/ and momentum 1.75 MeV/c in the positive x direction. The other fragment has mass 1.50 MeV/ and momentum MeV/c in the positive y direction. Find (a) the mass and (b) the speed of the original object. Solution The total energy of the first fragment is: E 1 p 2 1x + (m 1 ) 2 and for the second fragment we have: (1.75) 2 + (1.00) MeV E 2 p 2 2y + (m 2 ) 2 (2.005) 2 + (1.50) MeV (a) Mass-energy conservation requires that the total energy of the object before disintegration E o E 1 + E MeV. The momentum after disintegration p is given by: p 2 p 2 1x + p 2 2y (1.75) 2 + (2.00) (MeV/c) 2 The original object must also have the is momentum, so:
