Answer:

The neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of neutron is 'm' and mass of nucleus is 'm'.

The type of collision is elastic collision.

In elastic collision, there is no loss in kinetic energy of the system. So, total kinetic energy is conserved. Also, the total momentum of the system is conserved.

Here, the nucleus is still. So, its initial kinetic energy is 0. So, the total initial kinetic energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the neutron only.

Now, final kinetic energy of the system will be equal to the initial kinetic energy.

Now, as the nucleus was at rest initially, so the final kinetic energy of the nucleus will be equal to the initial kinetic energy of the neutron.

Thus, all the kinetic energy of the neutron will be transferred to the nucleus and the neutron will come to rest after collision.

Therefore, the neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

Of course steady state condition occurs in almost any system but time it will occurs varies among system. for this kind of system, conduction, steady state conduction occurs when the temperature change from one point to the point is already constant. steady state is not achieved immediately because the heat travels and material will not be heated at the same way at the starting point.

Your house is 45.0 m from a powerline carrying 152 A of current. How much magnetic field does the current create at your house?

Sedaia [141]

This question involves the concepts of th magnetic field and current.

The magnetic field created by the current at the house is "6.75 x 10⁻⁷ T".

<h3>Magnetic Field</h3>

The magnetic field created by a current carrying wire can be given by the following formula:

$B=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}$

where,

B = magnetic field = ?
$\mu_o$ = permeabiliy of free space =4π x 10⁻⁷
I = current = 152 A
r = distance = 45 m

$B=\frac{4\pi x\ 10^{-7}(152)}{2\pi(45)}$

B = 6.75 x 10⁻⁷ T

Before colliding, the momentum of block A is -100 kg*m/, and block B is -150 kg*m/s. After, block A has a momentum -200 kg*m/s.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Momentum of block B after collision = $-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given

Before collision:

Momentum of block A = $p_{A1}$ = $-100\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Momentum of block B = $p_{B1}$ = $-150\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

After collision:

Momentum of block A = $p_{A2}$ = $-200\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Applying law of conservation of momentum to find momentum of block B after collision $p_{B2}$ .

$p_{A1}+p_{B1}=p_{A2}+p_{B2}$

Plugging in the given values and simplifying.

$-100-150=-200+p_{B2}$

$-250=-200+p_{B2}$

Adding 200 to both sides.

$200-250=-200+p_{B2}+200$

$-50=p_{B2}$

∴ $p_{B2}=-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Momentum of block B after collision = $-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

66 POINTS! Which is true about the four atoms shown in figures A, B, C, and D?

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

A and B are isotopes of one another but the same element

C and D are isotopes of one another but the same element

However, A and B have a different proton count than C and D, indicating different elements because the proton count is equivalent to the atomic number.
