Announcements 12/3/12 Prayer Wednesday: Project Show & Tell
a. Cade & Seth – musical cadencesb. Tess & Brigham - pvc instrumentc. Tyler - sonoluminescenced. Ryan Peterson - particle collision simulatore. Konrie, Dallin, Hsin Ping – hot air balloon You will present in that order; a 9 minute cut-off for each group.
Wednesday: no reading assignment, but there’s still a warmup quiz
Final exam: Mon, Dec 10 – Thurs Dec 13, in Testing Center Final exam review: vote on times by tonight
frame!!!(disclaimer: has to be elastic collision, or else
mass not conserved)
From warmup
What is the maximum momentum that a particle with mass m can have?
a. There is no maximum momentum!
Momentum vs. Velocity
p mv
p mv
Why do they agree at small velocities?
From warmup
I often call "E=mc2" the most misquoted equation in history. Why might that be?
a. Because E does *not* equal mc^2. E = *gamma* times mc^2. See Eqn 39.26 (8th edition). The quantity mc^2 is only the rest energy.
Relativistic Energy
Momentum Force (F = dp/dt) Force Work (W = Fdx) Work Energy (Ebef + W = Eaft)

For mass = 1 kg
KE

Correct KE
½ mv2
Why can’t anything go faster than c?
A Word About Units
eV MeV MeV/c2
Clicker question:
Hydrogen atoms consist of one electron which is bound to a proton by electromagnetic forces. If I very carefully “weigh” a hydrogen atom, what will I get?
a. The mass of an electron plus the mass of a proton
b. Something a little BIGGER than (a)c. Something a little SMALLER than (a)d. Something entirely different from (a)
Ebef + W = Eaft
Clicker question:
A nuclear power plant generates 10 million Watts of power nonstop for a day. How much less do the fuel rods weigh at the end of the day?
a. around 0.0001 gramsb. around 0.01 gramsc. around 1 gramd. around 0.1 kge. around 10 kg
Nuclear power is not alone in converting mass to energy, ALL power sources do this!

Relationship between E and p
Classical: KE = ½ mv2 = ? (in terms of p)
Relativistic: E = mc2 = ? (in terms of p) 1 22 2 2 2( )E p c mc
