Melting: as mantle material rise toward the divergent plate boundary the pressure is reduced which causes melting

Two pucks collide with each other. after the collision they do not stick together. is kinetic energy conserved in the collision?

miv72 [106K]

Since they do not stick after collision hence collision is elastic. In elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy is conserved because in this type of collision, first body deforms but then quickly regains its former shape and transfers its kinetic energy to the second pluck.
So kinetic energy is conserved.

Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effecti

Andreas93 [3]

Answer: 1.88 N

Explanation:

Data:

Force = 4.00N
angle = 62°
horizontal force = ?

Solution:

The trigonometric ratio that relates horizontal - leg to hypotenuse is the cosine.

That ratio is:

                        horizontal - leg
cos(angle) = -------------------------
                          hypotenuse

So, applied to the force, that is:

                             horizontal force
cos (angle) = -----------------------------------
                                 total force

So, clearing the horizontal component you get:

horizontal force = force * cos (angle)

Substitute the data given:

horizontal force = 4.00N * cos(62°) = 4.00N * 0.4695 = 1.88 N

Answer: 1.88N

You are at the controls of a particle accelerator, sending a beam of 2.10×107 m/s protons (mass m) at a gas target of an unknown

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The mass is $m_2 =21.75*10^{-27} \ kg$

The velocity is $v_2 = 3.0*10^{6} m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the protons is $u_1 = 2.10*10^{7} m/s$

The mass of the protons is $m$

The speed of the rebounding protons are $v_1 = -1.80 * 10^{7} \ m/s$

The negative sign shows that it is moving in the opposite direction

Now according to the law of energy conservation mass of one nucleus of the unknown element. is mathematically represented as

$m_2 = [\frac{u_1 -v_1}{u_1 + v_1} ] m_1$

Where $m_1$ is the mass of a single proton

So substituting values

$m_2 = \frac{2.10 *10^{7} - (-1.80 *10^{7})} {(2.10 *10^7) + (-1.80 *10^{7})} m_1$

$m_2 =13 m_1$

The mass of on proton is $m_1 = 1.673 * 10^{-27} \ kg$

So $m_2 =13 ( 1.673 * 10^{-27} )$

$m_2 =21.75*10^{-27} \ kg$

Now according to the law of linear momentum conservation the speed of the unknown nucleus immediately after such a collision is mathematically evaluated as

$m_1 u_1 + m_2u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2v_2$
