I can not solve the problem if I do not have the mass.
F= Force
M=Mass
A= acceleration
F=N
Mass= in grams or kilo grams (mostly kg)
A= m/s
The concept of this problem is the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. To obey the law, the momentum before and after collision should be equal:
m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂', where
m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the proton and the carbon nucleus, respectively,
v₁ and v₂ are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus before collision, respectively,
v₁' and v₂' are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus after collision, respectively,
m(164) + 12m(0) = mv₁' + 12mv₂'
164 = v₁' + 12v₂' --> equation 1
The second equation is the coefficient of restitution, e, which is equal to 1 for perfect collision. The equation is
(v₂' - v₁')/(v₁ - v₂) = 1
(v₂' - v₁')/(164 - 0) = 1
v₂' - v₁'=164 ---> equation 2
Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously, v₁' = -138.77 m/s and v₂' = +25.23 m/s. This means that after the collision, the proton bounced to the left at 138.77 m/s, while the stationary carbon nucleus move to the right at 25.23 m/s.
Explanation:
It doesn't depends upon other.
It have it's own identity.
It's a lot easier to measure temperature than to measure the motion of component particles.
Answer:
The answer to your question is: D.
Explanation:
Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, it is a scalar quantity.
Displacement refers to the space between two points, measure from the minimum path linking them, it is a vector quantity.
I'm not agree with these answers, because the total distance is approximately 500km.
A) The distance traveled is 300 km. This answer is not correct.
B) Distance is 300 km and displacement is 0 km. This answer is not correct because the displacement is also 500 km.
C) Distance is 300 km/hour and displacement is 300 km.
300 km/h is a measure of speed not of distance, this option is wrong.
D) Both distance traveled and displacement are 300 km. I think this is the correct answer because distance and displacement measure the same. but I think both measure 500 km.
