A beam of helium-3 atoms (m = 3.016 u) is incident on a target of nitrogen-14 atoms (m = 14.003 u) at rest. During the collision

, a proton from the helium-3 nucleus passes to the nitrogen nucleus, so that following the collision there are two atoms: an atom of "heavy hydrogen" (deuterium, m = 2.014 u) and an atom of oxygen-15 (m = 15.003 u). The incident helium atoms are moving at a velocity of 6.346 x 10° m/s. After the collision, the deuterium atoms are observed to be moving forward (in the same direction as the initial helium atoms) with a velocity of 1.531 x 107 m/s.A) What is the final velocity of the oxygen-15 atoms? B) Compare the total kinetic energies before and after the collision.

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum to solve the problem .

Helium-3 collides with nitrogen-14 at rest . After the collision the newly formed deuterium atom and oxygen-15  atom moves .

momentum before the collision

= 3.016 x 6.346 x 10⁶ + 14.003 x 0 = 19.14 x 10⁶ unit

momentum after collision

2.014 x 1.531 x 10⁷ + 15.003 V

3.083 x 10⁷ +  15.003 V units

Applying the law of conservation of momentum ,

19.14 x 10⁶ = 3.083 x 10⁷ +  15.003 V

1.914 x 10⁷ = 3.083 x 10⁷ +  15.003 V

15.003 V = - 1.169 x 10⁷

V = .077917 x 10⁷

= 7.79 x 10⁵  m /s

= .0779 x 10⁷ m /s

mass of helium atom = 3.016 u = 3.016 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

velocity = 6.346 x 10⁶ m /s

kinetic energy = 1 /2 x  3.016 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x (6.346 x 10⁶ )²

= 101.42 x 10⁻¹⁵ J  

kinetic energy of nitrogen atoms = 0

Total energy before collision =  101.42 x 10⁻¹⁵ J  

Similarly kinetic energy after collision

= 1 /2 x [ 2.014 x 1.531² + 15.003 x .0779² ] x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 10¹⁴

= .835 x [ 4.72  + .09 ] x 10⁻¹³ J

=  4.016 x 10⁻¹³ J

= 401.6 x 10⁻¹⁵  J  

value of kinetic energy is increased .

What is the mass of 3.70 L of water? Remember 1000 L = 1 m^3 (Unit=Kg)
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

3.7kg

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume = 3.7L

Mass =?

Next, we shall convert 3.7L to m³.

This is illustrated below:

1000L = 1m³

Therefore, 3.7L = 3.7/1000 = 0.0037m³

Now, we can obtain the mass of the water as shown below:

Density of water = 1000kg/m³

Volume of water = 0.0037m³

Mass of water =..?

Density = Mass /volume

1000kg/m³ = Mass /0.0037m³

Cross multiply

Mass = 1000Kg/m³ × 0.0037m³

Mass = 3.7Kg

Therefore, the mass of the water is 3.7Kg.

What is the weight of a basketball with a mass of 0.5 kg
IgorLugansk [536]

W = 4.9N. The weight of a basketball with a mass of 0.5Kg is 4.9N.

The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and can be defined as the product of the mass by the acceleration of gravity, w = mg.

W = (0.5Kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 4.9N
