A 4 kg body is traveling at 3 m/s with no external force acting on it. At a certain instant an internal explosion occurs, splitt

ing the body into two chunks of 2 kg mass each. The explosion gives the chunks an additional 18 J of kinetic energy. Neither chunk leaves the line of original motion. Determine the speed and direction of motion of each of the chunks after the explosion.

Answer

given,

mass of body = 4 Kg

travelling at speed = 3 m/s

exploded into two fragments of equal mass i.e. = 2 Kg

energy after collision increases by 18 J

original kinetic energy

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}MV^2

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 3^2

KE = 18 J

energy increases after collision = 18 J

total energy = 36 J

now,

\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 = 36

\dfrac{1}{2}v_1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}v_2^2 = 36

v_1^2+v_2^2 = 72

using conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = MV

2 v₁ + 2 v₂ = 4 x 3

v₁ + v₂ = 6-------------(1)

squaring both side in the above equation

v₁² + v₂² + 2v₁v₂ = 36

72 + 2v₁v₂ = 36

v₁v₂ = -18-------(2)

putting value of equation (1) in (2)

v₁ (-18 - v₁) = 6

-18 v₁ - v₁² = 6

v₁² + 18 v₁ + 6 = 0

on solving the above equation we get

v₁ = -0.34 m/s

putting value of v₁ in equation (1)

v₂ = 6 + 0.34

v₂ = 6.34 m/s

In a Rutherford scattering experiment a target nucleus has a diameter of 1.34×10-14 m. The incoming α particle has a mass of 6.6
Rasek [7]

Answer:

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Explanation:

given,

diameter = 1.33 x 10⁻¹⁴ m

mass = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

wavelength is equal to diameter

de broglie wavelength equal to diameter

         \lambda = \dfrac{h}{mv}

         1.33 \times 10^{-14}= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times v}

         v= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times 1.33 \times 10^{-14}}

              v = 7.5 x 10⁶ m/s

Kinetic energy is equal to

     E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

     E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times (7.5\times 10^6)^2

            E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J
