Year 12 homework - conservation rules

 

What is the  equation for neutron decay?

Calculate the charges and mass-energies of all particles involved.  Is it possible?

What happens to the energy left over?

Check the equations in q3 P480 – could they happen? Is mass-energy and charge conserved? (Use table on P493 to help)

•Interactions between particles must obey three basic conservation rules

•Momentum conservation

•Mass-energy conservation

•Charge conservation
