Suppose there is a K0 meson that moves past us (to the right) with a speed of (1/2)c. In the K0 rest frame, it decays into to π2's, with one going straight up and the other going straight down with equal and opposite velocities v0. How fast do the π0's move in the laboratory in terms of v0 (at what angle w.r.t the vertical)?

(a) All but the closest galaxies are receding from our own Milky Way Galaxy. If a galaxy 12.0×109 ly ly away is receding from us at 0. 0.900c , at what velocity relative to us must we send an exploratory probe to approach the other galaxy at 0.990c , as measured from that galaxy? (b) How long will it take the probe to reach the other galaxy as measured from the Earth? You may assume that the velocity of the other galaxy remains constant. (c) How long will it then take for a radio signal to be beamed back? (All of this is possible in principle, but not practical.)

The Tevatron was a large particle accelerator that would collide beams ofprotons and anti-protons to see what would come out of the collisions.a) Let’s assume that each particle (in both beams) was accelerated to a total energy of100 GeV. What is the speed of the protons (relative to the speed of light) if you assumethe mass of the proton is equal to 1 GeV/c^2? Write your answer in terms of the speed oflight—keep it as a decimal times “c”. You will need several decimal places.b) Suppose that you now accelerate each particle to a speed of 0.9c. Since they are movingin opposite directions, what is the speed that one would measure for the speed of the otherparticle? Just give the absolute value of this speed. Don’t worry about the sign.c) Given your answer in part b, what is the energy of that one particle would measure forthe other particle?
