My pleasure im glad i could help :)

Hey I’d just like to say that I handed in the work on CERN yesterday and I’d like to thank you again for all the help :)

my pleasure :)

Yeah it really did :) Thanks for your time

did that help??

well there are two different ways of working out the energy. but they give you different things.

One is E^2= (Pc)^2+(m^2)c^4

P = momentum

This is a more complex form of E=mc^2 becuase it takes into account the particles motion. Where as E=mc^2 the particle must be at rest.

This gives us the total energy of the particle.

However when you collide two partices not all there energy goes into the collision(ie they might have a glancing blow or left over momentum) so we use another formular to work out this energy. However its a lot more complex.

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me again? This coursework is going very slowly…

When you’re working out how much energy the particles have in the accelerator, do you use E=mc^2 or E=0.5mv^2? or maybe something else?

hey there if i can help with anything else let me know :)
