The concept of this problem is the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. To obey the law, the momentum before and after collision should be equal:
m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂', where
m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the proton and the carbon nucleus, respectively,
v₁ and v₂ are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus before collision, respectively,
v₁' and v₂' are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus after collision, respectively,
m(164) + 12m(0) = mv₁' + 12mv₂'
164 = v₁' + 12v₂' --> equation 1
The second equation is the coefficient of restitution, e, which is equal to 1 for perfect collision. The equation is
(v₂' - v₁')/(v₁ - v₂) = 1
(v₂' - v₁')/(164 - 0) = 1
v₂' - v₁'=164 ---> equation 2
Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously, v₁' = -138.77 m/s and v₂' = +25.23 m/s. This means that after the collision, the proton bounced to the left at 138.77 m/s, while the stationary carbon nucleus move to the right at 25.23 m/s.
The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.
Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg
F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)
F = 83 N
Initial velocity (Vi) = 25 m/s
acceleration (a) = 
time interval (t) = 5 sec
let us assume that final velocity after 5 sec be Vf
As acceleration is constant, we can apply the the equation of motion with constant acceleration i.e. 
Hence, 
so, the velocity of bicyclist will be 5 m/s after 5 sec
Answer:
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of Albertine, m = 60 kg
It can be assumed, the spring constant of the spring, k = 95 N/m
Compression in the spring, x = 5 m
A glass sits 19.8 m from her outstretched foot, h = 19.8 m
When she just reach the glass without knocking it over, a force of friction will also act on it. Using the conservation of energy for the spring mass system such that,
So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor is 0.101. Hence, this is the required solution.
