Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.

Two particles with masses 2m and 9m are moving toward each other along the x axis with the same initial speeds vi. Particle 2m i
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The final speed for the mass 2m is v_{2y}=-1,51\ v_{i} and the final speed for the mass 9m is v_{1f} =0,85\ v_{i}.

The angle at which the particle 9m is scattered is \theta = -66,68^{o} with respect to the - y axis.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision the total linear momentum and the total kinetic energy is conserved.

<u>Conservation of linear momentum:</u>

Because the linear momentum is a vector quantity we consider the conservation of the components of momentum in the x and y axis.

The subindex 1 will refer to the particle 9m and the subindex 2 will refer to the particle 2m

\vec{p}=m\vec{v}

p_{xi} =p_{xf}

In the x axis before the collision we have

p_{xi}=9m\ v_{i} - 2m\ v_{i}

and after the collision we have that

p_{xf} =9m\ v_{1x}

In the y axis before the collision p_{yi} =0

after the collision we have that

p_{yf} =9m\ v_{1y} - 2m\ v_{2y}

so

p_{xi} =p_{xf} \\7m\ v_{i} =9m\ v_{1x}\Rightarrow v_{1x} =\frac{7}{9}\ v_{i}

then

p_{yi} =p_{yf} \\0=9m\ v_{1y} -2m\ v_{2y} \\v_{1y}=\frac{2}{9} \ v_{2y}

<u>Conservation of kinetic energy:</u>

\frac{1}{2}\ 9m\ v_{i} ^{2} +\frac{1}{2}\ 2m\ v_{i} ^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\ 9m\ v_{1f} ^{2} +\frac{1}{2}\ 2m\ v_{2f} ^{2}

so

\frac{11}{2}\ m\ v_{i} ^{2} =\frac{1}{2} \ 9m\ [(\frac{7}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2}+ (\frac{2}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{2y} ^{2}]+ m\ v_{2y} ^{2}

Putting in one side of the equation each speed we get

\frac{25}{9}\ m\ v_{i} ^{2} =\frac{11}{9}\ m\ v_{2y} ^{2}\\v_{2y} =-1,51\ v_{i}

We know that the particle 2m travels in the -y axis because it was stated in the question.

Now we can get the y component of the  speed of the 9m particle:

v_{1y} =\frac{2}{9}\ v_{2y} \\v_{1y} =-0,335\ v_{i}

the magnitude of the final speed of the particle 9m is

v_{1f} =\sqrt{v_{1x} ^{2}+v_{1y} ^{2} }

v_{1f} =\sqrt{(\frac{7}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2}+(-0,335)^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2} }\Rightarrow \ v_{1f} =0,85\ v_{i}

The tangent that the speed of the particle 9m makes with the -y axis is

tan(\theta)=\frac{v_{1x} }{v_{1y}} =-2,321 \Rightarrow\theta=-66,68^{o}

As a vector the speed of the particle 9m is:

\vec{v_{1f} }=\frac{7}{9} v_{i} \hat{x}-0,335\ v_{i}\ \hat{y}

As a vector the speed of the particle 2m is:

\vec{v_{2f} }=-1,51\ v_{i}\ \hat{y}
