AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a problem from "A Traveler's Guide to Spacetime" regarding the collision of a neutral boson and a snoozon, resulting in a rayon and a photon. The user calculates the four-momentum of the rayon using conservation of energy and momentum, arriving at values that seem inconsistent with the physical requirement that energy must be greater than or equal to momentum. The user questions whether their calculations contain an error or if the problem itself is flawed. The conversation highlights the complexities of particle interactions and the importance of verifying assumptions in physics problems. Clarification on the problem's validity or the user's approach is sought.

Homework Statement


The problem in question is 11.10 of "A traveler's guide to spacetime" by Moore. It goes as follows (by the way, the unit of distance that is used in the book is the lightsecond):

"A neutral boson of mass m traveling with v=4/5 in the +x direction strikes a snoozon of mass M=3m at rest. The interaction of these particles produces a previously undiscovered particle (which we will call a "rayon") and a photon with energy 2m. Assume that the photon is emitted in the -x direction.
a. What is the four-momentum of the rayon?"

Homework Equations


E=\frac{m}{\sqrt{1-v^2}}
p_x=v_xE
p_y=v_yE
p_y=v_yE

The Attempt at a Solution


I calculate the following values:
E_{boson}=5m/3
p_{x, boson}=4m/3
E_{snoozon}=3m
p_{x, snoozon}=0
E_{foton}=2m
p_{x, foton}=-2m
All the y- and z-components of p are 0.

With this I calculate the components of the four-momentum of the rayon, using the fact that the four-momentum of the system of particles is conserved:
E_{rayon}=E_{boson}+E_{snoozon}-E_{foton}=5m/3+3m-2m=8m/3
p_{x, rayon}=p_{x, boson}+p_{x, snoozon}-p_{x, foton}=4m/3+0+2m=10m/3
And again, the y- and z-components are 0.

The four-momentum then, is \left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 8m/3 \\ 10m/3 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{array} \right]
But this doesn't make any sense, since E should always be qreater or equal to p.

Have I made a mistake somewhere or is the question just not right?

Should I, perhaps, explain my solution in more detail?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
