In the four momentum treatment of relativistic particle collisions or decays,
The mass of a particle is different for various observers.
O Momentum and energy are still conserved in any inertial frame of reference.
O The energy equals the sum of the momentum, pc, plus the mass, mc2.
O The momentum and energy for a process are the same in all frames of reference.
An atomic nucleus suddenly bursts apart (fission) into two pieces. Piece A with mass mA travels to the left with a speed of vA. Piece B with mass mB travels to the right with speed vB. Show the velocity of piece B in terms of mA, mB and VA.
Solution:
Consider that the nucleus is not acted by an external force. Thus, momentum is conserved, so:
pBf + pAf = 0
Substituting the expression for momentum results to
mBv + mAv = 0
Deriving the expression for the velocity of piece B results to

Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as m₁ = 0.0145 kg, m2 = 0.0141 kg, m3 = 0.0245 kg, and m4 = 0.0105 kg. At this very instant, the x and y components (Ux, U,) of the mice's velocities are, respectively, (U₁x, U₁₁y) = (0.591 m/s, -0.425 m/s,) (v2.x, U2,y) = (-0.605 m/s, -0.933 m/s,) (v3,x, U3,y) = (0.259 m/s, 0.305 m/s), and (V4x, V4,y) = (-0.211 m/s, 0.569 m/s).
