    Special relativity (A.P. French 7.5)

    Homework Statement A particle of rest mass m and velocity v collides elastically with a stationary particle of rest mass M. Express the recoil and scattering angels in terms of the corresponding angles in the zero-momentum system. Show that your answers reduce to the non-relativistic ones if...

    Surface-image from mathematica.

    Homework Statement Find the parametric equations in the surface S therefore Z^2=1+x^2+y^2 and 2 ≤z ≤3 and draw the image of the surface with Mathematica Homework Equations (below 3.) The Attempt at a Solution Use polar coordinates as parameters. The surface defined is part of...

    Relativistic dynamics-collision problem

    I WOULD BE VERY THANKFUL IF ANYONE COULD PLEASE ME WITH THIS PROBLEM! :) Particle 1 with mass m1 encouters elastic collision with particle 2 which has mass m2 Assume that particle 2 is stationary before collision. And movement-direction of particle 1 after collision, is perpendicular to the...
