Before we introduced the Friedmann equation, we gained some intuition with a Newtonian example of an expanding sphere of uniform density that feels its own gravity. Suppose the sphere is currently static; it has expanded to its maximum size and is about to recollapse. Given that its total energy per mass is U, and its density is currently \rhoρ, what is its current size? Write your answer in meters, using one decimal place.
Values:
U = -82 J/kg
\rhoρ = 545 x 105 kg/m3

A.2 Two photons, each with an energy of 3 MeV, colide head-on and annihilate to produce
an electron-positron pair. The electron is emitted at an angle a. What are the kinetic
energies and speeds of the electron and the positron? At what angle is the positron
emitted? Why?

- A particle has γ=18,399. a) Calculate c-v in m/s. (I would have asked for 1 - v/c, making the answer dimensionless, but the system doesn't seem to take numbers that small. Gamma is chosen to make the particle extremely close to the speed of light.) If your calculator gives problems, you might want to solve the appropriate equation for c-v or c(1 - v/c) and use an approximation. b) In a race to the moon, by 3/4ths the distance, light is one or ten meters ahead of the particle. We routinely approximate mass as zero, gamma as infinite, and speed as the speed of light. ("Massless particles" -- gamma and m have to be eliminated from the expressions. Light is a true massless particle.) If a massless particle has momentum 1,739 MeV/c, calculate its energy in MeV. Thank you so much!!arrow_forwardA particle has γ=18,399. a)Calculate c-v in m/s.
