A mass m neutron has elastic collision with a mass m'

Physics
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 years ago
5 0

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.

You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headligh
choli [55]

Answer:

They can be seen from a distance of 4.372 kilometers.

Explanation:

Using the Reyligh creterion for diffraction through a circular aperture we have

\frac{x}{D}=\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}

where symbol's have their usual meaning

thus applying values we get

D=\frac{dx}{1.22\lambda }

\therefore D=\frac{0.633\times 4.61\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 547\times 10^{-9}}\\\\D=4372.77m\\=4.372km
