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 .

Three resistors of 10.0 W, 20.0 W, and 25.0 W are connected in parallel across a 100-V battery. What is the equivalent resistanc
leva [86]
In a parallel connection, the equivalent resistance is the summation of the inverse of each individual resistances. It is mathematically expressed as 1/ Req = 1/10 +1/20 + 1/25 = 5.263 ohms. Also, the voltage across each resistor is equal to the input voltage, therefore I = 100 / 10 = 10 Amps. I hope this helped you.

During the first stage of sleep deprivation, the subject may __________.
klio [65]
<h2>First stage of sleep Deprivation Subject </h2>

During the first stage of sleep deprivation, the subject is NREM which stands for non-rapid eye movement. In this condition, we are not sleeping in the depth. It can be said as dreamless sleep. On electro-encephalography recording, the brain waves are not fast so they have high voltage.

In this condition, the breathing, heart rate and blood pressure is low. The sleep is comparatively tranquil. NREM lasts for 90 minutes to 120 minutes. It accounts for about 75% of the normal sleep time. Rapid eye movements do not occur.

When a tuning fork vibrates over an open pipe and the air in the pipe starts to vibrate, the vibrations in the tube are caused b
defon

Answer:

correct option is A. Resonance

Explanation:

solution

vibrations in the tube are caused by the Resonance because Resonance cause of sounds production in the musical instrument

As if resonance ( hollow cylindrical tube) immerse in  cylinder of water and force in to vibration by tuning fork

As tines of tuning fork vibrate at natural frequency and it create sound wave that impinged up on opening of resonance tube

so correct option is A. Resonance

Answer:

M = ρ V = 9 gm/cm^ 3 * cm^3 = 27 gm

a = (V2 - V1) / t = (6 - 2) m/s / 12 s = 1/3 m/s^2     the acceleration
