(a)

Determine the system's initial configuration at ri = infinite particle separation and the system's final configuration at the point of closest approach.

Since the two-particle system is not being affected by any outside forces, we may treat it as an isolated system for momentum and use the momentum conservation law.

m1v1 + m1v2 = (m1+m2)v

The second particle's starting velocity is zero, so:

m1v1  = (m1+m2)v

After substituting the values we get,

v = 6i m/s

(b)

Since the two particle system is also energy-isolated, we may use the energy-conservation principle.

dK + dU = 0

Ki +Ui = Kf + Uf

Substituting the values,

1/2m1v1^2i + 1/2 m2v2^2i + 0 = 1/2m1v1^2f + 1/2m2v2^2f +ke q1q2/rf

The second particle's initial speed is 0 (v2 = 0). Additionally, both the first and second particle's final velocity have the same value, v. Put these values in place of the preceding expression:

1/2m1v1^2i  = 1/2m1v1^2 + 1/2m2v2^2 +ke q1q2/rf

After solving we get,

rf = 2ke q1q2 / m1v1^2 - (m1+m2)v^2

Substituting the values we get,

rf = 3.64m

(c)

v1f = (m1-m2 / m1 + m2) v1i

v1f  = -9i m/s

(d)

v2f =  (2m1/ m1 +m2) v1i

After substituting the values,

v2f = 12i m/ s

Question :

Review. From a large distance away, a particle of mass 2.00 g and charge 15.0 \muμC is fired at 21.0 m/s straight toward a second particle, originally stationary but free to move, with mass 5.00 g and charge 8.50 \muμC. Both particles are constrained to move only along the x axis. (a) At the instant of closest approach, both particles will be moving at the same velocity. Find this velocity. (b) Find the distance of closest approach. After the interaction, the particles will move far apart again. At this time, find the velocity of (c) the 2.00-g particle and (d) the 5.00-g particle. \hat{i}

What is the difference between distance and position?
Ket [755]
Distance is a scalar and measured only by units (meters, feet). Position is a vector and depends on where the origin is. It can be negative or positive and has direction.

Answer:

While a body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to immediate surroundings.

A body is said to be in uniform motion if it covers equal distances in equal interval of time.

A body is said to be in non-uniform motion if it covers unequal distances in equal interval of time or vice-versa

n explosion breaks an object initially at rest into two pieces, one of which has 2.0 times the mass of the other. If 8400 J of k
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:

0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂

M₁v₁ = M₂v₂

let the second piece be the heavier mass, then

M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂

v₁  = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁

From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:

¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400

K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400

Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁

1.5 K.E₁ = 8400

K.E₁ = 8400/1.5

K.E₁ = 5600 J

K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J

Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy
