Explanation:

Let the mass of two objects be m. Both objects move along the same line in opposite directions. Let v and u₂ are speeds of both objects before collision.

After the collision, both objects stick together and move with the speed of 0.1 V the direction of the velocity of the first mass before the collision.

Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{m(u_1+u_2)}{(m_1+m_2)}

0.1v=\dfrac{m(v+u_2)}{(2m)}

On solving above equation, u_2=-0.8v

So, the speed of the second mass before the collision is 0.8 v. The negative sign shows that the it moves in opposite direction. Hence, this is the required solution.

An electron with a speed of 0.95c is emitted by a supernova, where cc is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the moment
krok68 [10]

Answer:

2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Momentum =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the electron. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of Light (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of electron = 0.95 × 3×10⁸

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mometum of the electron.

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Thus, with the above formula, we calculate the momentum of the electron as follow:

Mass of electron = 9.1×10¯³¹ Kg

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Momentum of electron =?

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Momentum = 9.1×10¯³¹ × 2.85×10⁸

Momentum = 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the electron is 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s
