A helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct

ion at 401 m/s. After the collision, the oxygen molecule moves at 445 m/s to the right. What is the velocity of the helium atom after the collision?

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

uysha [10]

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system (absence of external force) is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

where;

P.E is potential energy

K.E is kinetic energy

Thus, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

g A beam of light incident on a smooth flat mirror at an angle of 25o relative to the surface normal of the mirror. What is the
WINSTONCH [101]

To solve this problem we will resort to the concept of angle of incidence and refraction.

Since it is a reflection on a mirror, the angle provided for refraction will be equal to that of the incidence, that is, 25 °

The angle of reflation is always perpendicular to the surface so it is necessary to find the angle with respect to it.

\theta = 90-25

\theta = 65\°

Therefore the angle of the reflected beam of light made with the surface normal is 65°
