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

Mangrove forests play an important role in _______.
AysviL [449]
D. All of the above

At high tide fish will feed among the mangrove roots - rich fishing ground

The trees trap sediment and soil in the river that would flow out to sea which also helps stop erosion

Wildlife utilise almost every part of the tree, with insects and birds, monkeys and lizards in the branches, shrimps and fish in the roots, and snails and clams in the soil
