Tutorial Exercise An unstable atomic nucleus of mass 1.83 10-26 kg initially at rest disintegrates into three particles. One of

the particles, of mass 5.03 10-27 kg, moves in the y direction with a speed of 6.00 106 m/s. Another particle, of mass 8.47 10-27 kg, moves in the x direction with a speed of 4.00 106 m/s. (a) Find the velocity of the third particle. (b) Find the total kinetic energy increase in the process

Answer:

A) v3 = -[6.29 × 10^(6)]j^ - [7.06 × 10^(6)]i^

B) K_total = 373.08 × 10^(-15) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of unstable atomic nucleus; M = 1.83 × 10^(-26) kg

Mass of first particle; m1 = 5.03 × 10^(-27) kg

Speed of first particle in y-direction; v1 = (6 × 10^(6) m/s) j^

Mass of second particle; m2 = 8.47 × 10^(-27) kg

Speed of second particle in x - direction; v2 = (4 × 10^(6) m/s) i^

Now, we don't have the mass of the third particle but since we are told the unstable atomic nucleus disintegrates into 3 particles, thus;

M = m1 + m2 + m3

1.83 × 10^(-26) = (5.03 × 10^(-27)) + (8.47 × 10^(-27)) + m3

m3 = (1.83 × 10^(-26)) - (13.5 × 10^(-27))

m3 = 4.8 × 10^(-27) kg

A) Applying law of conservation of momentum, we have;

MV = (m1 × v1) + (m2 × v2) + (m3 × v3)

Now, the unstable atomic nucleus was at rest before disintegration, thus V = 0 m/s.

Thus, we now have;

0 = (m1 × v1) + (m2 × v2) + (m3 × v3)

We want to find the velocity of the third particle v3. Let's make it the subject of the formula;

v3 = [(m1 × v1) + (m2 × v2)]/(-m3)

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

v3 = [(5.03 × 10^(-27) × 6 × 10^(6))j^ + (8.47 × 10^(-27) × 4 × 10^(6))i^]/(-4.8 × 10^(-27))

v3 = [(30.18 × 10^(-21))j^ + (33.88 × 10^(-21))i^]/(-4.8 × 10^(-27))

v3 = -[6.29 × 10^(6)]j^ - [7.06 × 10^(6)]i^

B) Formula for kinetic energy is;

K = ½mv²

Now,total kinetic energy is;

K_total = K1 + K2 + K3

K1 = ½ × 5.03 × 10^(-27) × (6 × 10^(6))²

K1 = 90.54 × 10^(-15) J

K2 = ½ × 8.47 × 10^(-27) × (4 × 10^(6))²

K2 = 67.76 × 10^(-15)

To find K3, let's first find the magnitude of v3 because it's still in vector form.

Thus;

v3 = √[(-6.29 × 10^(6))² + (-7.06 × 10^(6))²]

v3 = 9.46 × 10^(6) m/s

K3 = ½ × 4.8 × 10^(-27) × (9.46 × 10^(6))²

K3 = 214.78 × 10^(-15) J

K_total = (90.54 × 10^(-15)) + (67.76 × 10^(-15)) + (214.78 × 10^(-15))

K_total = 373.08 × 10^(-15) J

yulyashka [42]

(A) P(v) = 0.135v

(B) P(h) = 0.234v

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass of the ball, m = 0.27kg

Force, F = 125N

angle of projection, θ = 30°

Let v be the velocity of the ball.

A) vertical component of the momentum of the volleyball

We know,

P(vertical) = mvsinθ

P(V) = 0.27 X v X sin 30°

P(V) = 0.27 X v X 0.5

P(V) = 0.135v

B) horizontal component of the momentum of the volleyball

We know,

P(Horizontal) = mvcosθ

P(h) = 0.27 X v X cos 30°

P(h) = 0.27 X v X 0.866

P(h) = 0.234v

Explanation:

First we must explain the essential when we clear equations, and that is that if the term we need to clear is accompanied by other terms that are being added up, then those terms go to the other side of the equation to subtract if those terms are subtracting, then they go to the other side to add, if those terms are found multiplying then they go to the other side of the equation to divide and if those other terms are found dividing then they go to the other side of the equation to multiply.

(Primero debemos explicar lo esencial cuando despejamos ecuaciones, y es que si el término que necesitamos despejar va acompañado de otros términos que se están sumando, entonces esos términos van al otro lado de la ecuación para restar si esos términos están restando, luego van al otro lado para sumar, si esos términos se encuentran multiplicando luego van al otro lado de la ecuación a dividir, y si esos términos se encuentran dividiendo, pasan al otro lado de la ecuación a multiplicar.)
