The concept of this problem is the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. To obey the law, the momentum before and after collision should be equal:

m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂', where
m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the proton and the carbon nucleus, respectively,
v₁ and v₂ are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus before collision, respectively,
v₁' and v₂' are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus after collision, respectively,

m(164) + 12m(0) = mv₁' + 12mv₂'
164 = v₁' + 12v₂'  --> equation 1

The second equation is the coefficient of restitution, e, which is equal to 1 for perfect collision. The equation is

(v₂' - v₁')/(v₁ - v₂) = 1
(v₂' - v₁')/(164 - 0) = 1
v₂' - v₁'=164 ---> equation 2

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously, v₁' =  -138.77 m/s and v₂' = +25.23 m/s. This means that after the collision, the proton bounced to the left at 138.77 m/s, while the stationary carbon nucleus move to the right at 25.23 m/s.

mario62 [17]

If the object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed, then that's
the definition of zero acceleration.  It can only happen when the sum of
all forces (the 'net' force) on the object is zero.

And it doesn't matter what the object's mass is.  That argument is true
for specks of dust, battleships, rocks, stars, rock-stars, planets, and
everything in between.

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The temperature of the core raises by 2.8^{o}C every second.

Explanation:

Since the average specific heat of the reactor core is 0.3349 kJ/kgC

It means that we require 0.3349 kJ of heat to raise the temperature of 1 kg of core material by 1 degree Celsius

Thus reactor core whose mass is 1.60\times 10^{5}kg will require

0.3349\times 1.60\times 10^{5}kJ\\\\=0.53584\times 10^{5}kJ

energy to raise it's temperature by 1 degree Celsius in 1 second

Hence by the concept of proportionately we can infer 150 MW of power will increase the temperature by

\frac{150\times 10^{6}}{0.53584\times 10^{8}}=2.8^{o}C/s

The mass of a star is 1.61·1031 kg and its angular velocity is 1.60E-7 rad/s. Find its new angular velocity if the diameter sudd
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

ω₂ = 1.9025 x 10⁻⁶ rad/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of star = 1.61 x 10³¹ kg

angular velocity = 1.60 x 10⁻⁷ rad/s

diameter suddenly shrinks = 0.29 x present size

      r₂  = 0.29 r₁

using conservation of angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ ω₂

(\dfrac{2}{5}mr_1^2)\omega_1=(\dfrac{2}{5}mr2^2)\omega_2

r_1^2\times \omega_1=r_2^2\times \omega_2

r_1^2\times 1.60\times 10^{-7}=(0.29r_1)^2\times \omega_2

1.60\times 10^{-7}=0.0841\times \omega_2

\omega_2=\dfrac{1.60\times 10^{-7}}{0.0841}

   ω₂ = 1.9025 x 10⁻⁶ rad/s
