Homework Statement
In a particle accelerator a proton and an antiproton, traveling at the same speed, undergo a head on collision and produce subatomic particles. The total kinetic energy of the two particles just before the collision is 3.2 x 10[itex]^{}-10[/itex] J.
State why the total energy after the collision is more than 3.2 x 10[itex]^{}-10[/itex] J.
Homework Equations
e=mc[itex]^{}2[/itex]
hf[itex]_{}min[/itex] = E[itex]_{}0[/itex] where E0 is rest energy of electron
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought energy, mass and charged were conserved...
