3. A beam of 1-MeV protons strikes a target consisting of hydrogen atoms, so that the incident and target particles have equal mass. If a certain incident proton is scattered through an angle of 60. a) Find its kinetic energy and the kinetic energy of the target particle. Assume that the target particle is at rest and collision is elastic. b) What is the scattering angle in the center of mass system. c) If the collision is not elastic, show that the energy loss of the collision is given by: Q = P, 'P2 cos o/m (30 pts)
