The key thing to remember about an elastic collision is that it preserves both momentum and kinetic energy. For this problem I will assume the more massive particle has a mass of 1 and that the initial velocities are 1 and -1. The ratio of the masses will be represented by the less massive particle and will have the value "r"
The equation for kinetic energy is
E = 1/2MV^2.
So the energy for the system prior to collision is
0.5r(-1)^2 + 0.5(1)^2 = 0.5r + 0.5
The energy after the collision is
0.5rv^2
Setting the two equations equal to each other
0.5r + 0.5 = 0.5rv^2
r + 1 = rv^2
(r + 1)/r = v^2
sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v
The momentum prior to collision is
-1r + 1
Momentum after collision is
rv
Setting the equations equal to each other
rv = -1r + 1
rv +1r = 1
r(v+1) = 1
Now we have 2 equations with 2 unknowns.
sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v
r(v+1) = 1
Substitute the value v in the 2nd equation with sqrt((r+1)/r) and solve for r.
r(sqrt((r + 1)/r)+1) = 1
r*sqrt((r + 1)/r) + r = 1
r*sqrt(1+1/r) + r = 1
r*sqrt(1+1/r) = 1 - r
r^2*(1+1/r) = 1 - 2r + r^2
r^2 + r = 1 - 2r + r^2
r = 1 - 2r
3r = 1
r = 1/3
So the less massive particle is 1/3 the mass of the more massive particle.</span>
The sun?? It stays in one spot, but from our point of view, it travels around the earth...
Answer:
F = 6.27 x 10 ¹⁹ N
Explanation:
Given
m₁ = 92 kg, m₂ = 46 kg, % = 0.04% N = 6.022 x 10²³ Z = 18, e = 1.6 x 10 ⁻¹⁹ C, M = 0.018 kg/mol
q₁ = % * [m * N * A * e / M ]
q₁ = 0.0004 * [ ( 92 kg * 6.022 x 10²³ * 18 * 1.6 x 10 ⁻¹⁹ ) / (0.018 kg/mol ) ]
q₁ = 3.54 x 10⁶ C
q₂ = 0.0004 * [ ( 46 kg * 6.022 x 10²³ * 18 * 1.6 x 10 ⁻¹⁹ ) / (0.018 kg/mol ) ]
q₂ = 1.773 x 10⁶ C
Now to determine the electrostatic force con use the equation
F = K * q₁ * q₂ / d²
K = 8.99 x 10 ⁹
F = 8.99 x 10 ⁹ * 3.54 x 10⁶ C * 1.773 x 10⁶ C / (30m)²
F = 6.27 x 10 ¹⁹ N
100% C . By size and distance
