A proton of mass m is at rest when it is suddenly struck head-on by an alpha particle (which consistsof 2 protons and 2 neutrons

) moving at speed v. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what speed will the alpha particle have after the collision

Answer:

3/5 v

Explanation:

The computation of speed will the alpha particle have after the collision is shown below:-

In a perfectly elastic the kinetic energy and collision the momentum are considered.

The velocity of the particles defines the below equation:

VA_f=(\frac{m_A-m_B}{m_A+m_B})VA_i+(\frac{2m_B}{m_A+m_B})VB_i

As we know that

VA_i=v

\\VB_i=0

Here, we consider A is the alpha particle and B is the proton and now by the above values we can solve the equation which is below:-

VA_f=(\frac{4m-m}{4m+m})v

\\VA_f=\frac{3m}{5m}v

\\VA_f=\frac{3}{5}v

Therefore the correct answer is \frac{3}{5}v

A car weighing 14,700 N is speeding down a highway with a velocity of 99 km/h. What is the
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 148348.6239 kg•m/s

Explanation: Firstly, we need to convert the 14700 N into kilograms, and to do so, use the formula net force is equal to mass times acceleration and rearrange the formula to find mass like shown below...

F = ma

F/a = m

14700/9.81 = 1498.470948 kg, this is your mass

Now that we convert it into kilograms, plug all the numbers into the variable of the momentum formula.

Momentum formula is P = mass x velocity

Like this:

P = 1498.470948 x 99

p = 148348.6239 kg•m/s.

I believe that is your answer, hope that helps you even a bit out.

Thanks.

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 70.1 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl
lara [203]

Answer:

given,

mass of the skier = 70.1 Kg

angle with horizontal, θ = 8.6°

magnitude of the force,F = ?

a) Applying newton's second law

   m g sin\theta - F_{rope} = ma

 velocity is constant, a = 0

   m g sin\theta - F_{rope} =0

   F_{rope} = m g sin\theta

   F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0

  F_{rope}= 102.73\ N

b) now, when acceleration, a = 0.135 m/s²

   F_{rope}-m g sin\theta = ma

 velocity is constant, a = 0.135 m/s₂

   F_{rope} = m g sin\theta+ma

   F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0+70.1\times 0.135

  F_{rope}= 112.19\ N

A television has a mass of 19 kg. What is the weight of the television?
soldi70 [24.7K]
That depends on how far it is from the nearest planet. If it's on the surface of Earth, it weighs (19 kg) x (9.8 m/s^2) = 186.2 newtons.

Imagine that the apparent weight of the crown in water is Wapparent=4.50N, and the actual weight is Wactual=5.00N. Is the crown
9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

Actual weight, Wo = 5 N

Apparent weight, W = 4.5 N

density of water = 1 g/cm^3 = 1000 kg/m^3

density of gold, = 19.32 g/cm^3 = 19.32 x 1000 kg/m^3

Buoyant force = Actual weight - Apparent weight

Volume x density of water x g = 5 - 4.5

V x 1000 x 9.8 = 0.5

V = 5.1 x 10^-6 m^3

Weight of gold = Volume of gold x density of gold x gravity

W' = 5.1 x 10^-6 x 19.32 x 1000 x 9.8 = 0.966 N

As W' is less than W so, it is not pure gold.
