Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2240.92365 m/s

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{−31}\ kg$

$v_1$ = Speed of electron = $5.7\times 10^7\ m/s$

$p_2$ = Neutrino has a momentum = $7.3\times 10^{-24}\ kg m/s$

M = total mass = $2.34\times 10^{-26}\ kg$

In the x axis as the momentum is conserved

$Mv_x=m_1v_1\\\Rightarrow v_x=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_x=\dfrac{9.11\times 10^{−31}\times 5.7\times 10^7}{2.34\times 10^{-26}}\\\Rightarrow v_x=2219.10256\ m/s$

In the y axis

$Mv_y=p_2\\\Rightarrow v_y=\dfrac{p_2}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_y=\dfrac{7.3\times 10^{-24}}{2.34\times 10^{-26}}\\\Rightarrow v_y=311.96581\ m/s$

The resultant velocity is

$R=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{2219.10256^2+311.96581^2}\\\Rightarrow R=2240.92365\ m/s$

The recoil speed of the nucleus is 2240.92365 m/s

Which of the following statements correctly describes the models put forth by Ptolemy and Copernicus to explain the universe? A.

FrozenT [24]

The correct option is D.
The model developed by Ptolemy has a lot of inconsistency and during the middle age additional explanation was offered for the claims made by the model. The model was very complicated because it was based on erroneous assumptions.
Copernicus model was simpler and some of his claims were correct.<span />
