Atoms ere electrically neutral because they have equal number of protons and electrons. If an atom lose or gain one or more electrons it becomes an ion.
Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s
Explanation:
M = father's mass
m = son's mass = M/3
V = father's initial speed
v = son's initial speed
(1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2
M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2
V^2/v^2 = 1/4
V = v/2
Second equation:
(1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2
= (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2
cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s
(V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2
V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2
V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0
V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45
V = 1.57
