Two particles are moving along the x axis. Particle 1 has a mass m₁ and a velocity v₁ = +4.7 m/s. Particle 2 has a mass m₂ and a

velocity v₂ = −6.2 m/s. The velocity of the center of mass of these two particles is zero. In other words, the center of mass of the particles remains stationary, even though each particle is moving. Find the ratio m₁/m₂ of the masses of the particles.

Answer:

m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Explanation:

We can work this problem with the moment, the system is formed by the two particles

The moment is conserved, to simulate the system the particles initially move with a moment and suppose a shock where the particular that, without speed, this determines that if you center, you should be stationary, which creates a moment equal to zero

    p₀o = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

    pf = 0

    m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

    m₁ / m₂=  - (-6.2) / 4.7

     m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Another way to solve this exercise is to use the mass center relationship

    Xcm = 1/M    (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)

We derive from time

   Vcm = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

As they say the velocity of the center of zero masses

    0 = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

   m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

   m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Lana71 [14]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The force of attraction existent between the proton and neutron in the nucleus of an atom is extremely large. When the nucleus splits there is a large release of heat and energy larger than the force present in any of the other options listed.

A wheel is rotating freely at angular speed 420 rev/min on a shaft whose rotational inertia is negligible. A second wheel, initi
Mashcka [7]

Answer:60 rev/min

Explanation:

Given

angular speed of first shaft \omega _1=420\ rev/min

Moment of inertia of second shaft is seven times times the rotational speed of the first i.e. If I is the moment  of inertia of first wheel so moment of inertia of second is 7 I

As there is no external torque therefore angular momentum is conserved

L_1=L_2

I_1\omega _1=I_2\omega _2

I\times (420)=7 I\times (\omega _2)

\omega _2=\frac{420}{7}

\omega _2=60\ rev/min
