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>
Answer:Gravity
Explanation:Gravity is the force that pulls everything down instead of up because if we didn’t have gravity we would be floating upwards
Answer:
Wavelenght is 4.53x10^-7m
Explanation:
Detailed explanation and calculation is shown in the image below
Answer:
the force is perpendicular to the speed, it is a type of force that changes the direction of the speed, as in the uniform circular motion te, but does not change its modulus.
Explanation:
The magnetic force is given by the expression
F = q v x B
The bold are vectors, where v is the velocity and B is the magnetic field, the product is the cross product whose result is a vector perpendicular to the two vectors (v and B)
From the above, the force is perpendicular to the speed, it is a type of force that changes the direction of the speed, as in the uniform circular motion te, but does not change its modulus.
Even when the change in direction is real and is caused by a centripetal force
For there to be a change in the velocity modulus there must be a force parallel to the velocity direction, generally a force in electrical
