Answer:

(a) The speed of the target proton after the collision is:V_{2f} =433(m/s), and (b) the speed of the projectile proton after the collision is: v_{1f}=250(m/s).

Explanation:

We need to apply at the system the conservation of the linear momentum on both directions x and y, and we get for the x axle:m_{1} v_{1i} =m_{1} v_{1f}Cos\beta _{1} +m_{2} v_{2f}Cos\beta _{2}, and y axle:0=m_{1} v_{1f}Sin\beta _{1}+m_{2} v_{2f}Sin\beta _{2}. Now replacing the value given as: v_{1i}=500(m/s), \beta_{1}=+60^{o} for the projectile proton and according to the problem \beta_{1}and\beta_{2} are perpendicular so \beta_{2}=-30^{o}, and assuming that m_{1}=m_{2}, we get for x axle:500=v_{1f}Cos\beta _{1}+ v_{2f}Cos\beta _{2} and y axle: 0=v_{1f}Sin\beta _{1}+v_{2f}Sin\beta _{2}, then solving for v_{2f}, we get:v_{2f}=-v_{1f}\frac{Sin\beta_{1}}{Sin\beta_{2}}= \sqrt{3}v_{1f} and replacing at the first equation we get:500=\frac{1}{2} v_{1f} +\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} *\sqrt{3}*v_{1f}, now solving for v_{1f}, we can find the speed of the projectile proton after the collision as:v_{1f}=250(m/s) and v_{2f}=\sqrt{3}*v_{1f}=433(m/s), that is the speed of the target proton after the collision.

what can you say about the motion of an object if its speed time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis ? Also draw
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

It says about the motion and the graph of the object is stationary, basically travelling at the same speed at any time of the graph. It will never change.

Explanation:

To draw a diagram:

1. Draw an object and represent the speed as stationary and constant at any time.

A grain silo is shown below:grain silo formed by cylinder with radius 5 feet and height 175 feet and a half sphere on the topwha
nekit [7.7K]
Find the volume of the bottom and top separately and then add them.
Cylinder volume is the area of the bottom times the height
(22/7)(5^2)•175=13750 ft^3

The volume of a sphere is
V=(4/3)(22/7)r^3
where r is the radius. Here that's also 5 since it fits on the cylinder.
Also we only want half the sphere so use
V=(2/3)(22/7)•5^3=261.9 ft^3
Which we round upto 262.
Now add the parts together
13750+262=14,012 ft^3

A train travels 83 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 79 kilometers in 2 hours. What is its average speed?
snow_tiger [21]
If you could please give me a already given speed I could estimate it. since there is no speed shown you wouldn't be able to estimate the speed of the moving train.

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at
inn [45]

Answer:

a)v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

b)H=8.9605\,m

Explanation:

Given:

mass of bullet, m=4.97\times 10^{-3}\,kg

compression of the spring, \Delta x=0.0476\,m

force required for the given compression, F=9.12 \,N

(a)

We know

F=m.a

where:

a= acceleration

9.12=4.97\times 10^{-3}\times a

a\approx 1835\,m.s^{-2}\\

we have:

initial velocity,u=0\,m.s^{-1}

Using the eq. of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.\Delta x

where:

v= final velocity after the separation of spring with the bullet.

v^2= 0^2+2\times 1835\times 0.0476

v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

(b)

Now, in vertical direction we take the above velocity as the initial velocity "u"

so,

u=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

∵At maximum height the final velocity will be zero

v=0\,m.s^{-1}

Using the equation of motion:

v^2=u^2-2g.h

where:

h= height

g= acceleration due to gravity

0^2=13.2171^2-2\times 9.8\times h

h=8.9129\,m

is the height from the release position of the spring.

So, the height from the latched position be:

H=h+\Delta x

H=8.9129+0.0476

H=8.9605\,m
