A neutron with a mass of 1.67 × 10-27 kg traveling east with a kinetic energy of 2.00 × 10-21 J collides perfectly elastically w

ith a helium nucleus with a mass 6.68 × 10-27 kg that is initially at rest. After the collision, the neutron has a kinetic energy 1.80 × 10-21 J. What angle was the neutron deflected during the collision?
I am able to calculate the values of the final velocities. I just don't know what to do with the information provided and the information I calculated to get the final angle of deflection.

You need to use conservation of momentum in order to find the angle at which the neutron was deflected. Although, I would need to see an image of the problem or know if the helium nucleus was being deflected at an angle as well.

You can split up momentum into x and y components, similar to force. I.e

Pxi=PxF

PyY=PyF

Py:mvsin(theta)=mvsintheta

Px: mvcos(theta)=mvcos(theta)

Hopefully these equations can help you solve the problem.

Forces of attraction limit the motion of particles most in
Alexandra [31]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

Solids

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

<u>Solids</u> have definite shapes and definite volumes. The forces of attraction between the molecules of a solid substance are strong and the intermolecular spaces are very small. Due to this, the motion of molecules within a solid substance are very difficult that they only vibrate in their positions.

<u>For liquids</u>, they have definite volumes and indefinite shapes. The forces of attraction between the molecules of a liquid are intermediate and the the intermolecular spaces are intermediate as well. Due to this, the motion of molecules within a liquid substance is not as difficult as it is within solids.

Finally, <u>for gases</u>, they have indefinite shapes and indefinite volumes. The forces of attraction between the molecules of a gas are weak and the intermolecular spaces are large. Due to this, the motion of particles of gas is very easy.

Hope this helps :)

An ordinary workshop grindstone has a radius of 7.50 cm and rotates at 6500 rev/min. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the centripe
jonny [76]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the relationship between tangential velocity and centripetal velocity, as well as the kinematic equations of angular motion. By definition we know that the direction of centripetal acceleration is perpendicular to the direction of tangential velocity, therefore:

a_c= \frac{v^2}{r}=r\omega^2

Where,

V = the linear speed

r = Radius

\omega = Angular speed

The angular speed is given by

\omega =6500\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1 min}{60s})

\omega = 680.6784 rad/s.

Replacing at our first equation we have that the centripetal acceleration would be

a_c = r\omega^2

a_c = (0.0750)(680.6784)^2

a_c = 34 749.23 m/s^2

To transform it into multiples of the earth's gravity which is given as 9.8m / s the equivalent of 1g.

a_c =34749.23 \frac{m}{s^2} (1\frac{g}{9.8m/s^2})

a_c = 3545.84g

PART B) Now the linear speed would be subject to:

v = \omega r

v= (680.6784)(0.0750)

v=51.05 m/s

Therefore the linear speed of a point on its edge is 51.05m/s

The tools to distinguish the thickness of two objects of thickness of 1.92mm and the other with thickness of 1.93mm is ?
melomori [17]

Answer:

the instrument that gives this precision is the micrometer screw

Explanation:

The high precision measurements of small parts are the general vernier and the micrometer screw.

In these two instruments the same principle is used: there is a fixed rule and a mobile one that increases precision.

Let's analyze the absolute error or precision of each instrument

* For the vernier, the precision of the fixed rule is 1 mm and there are 20 divisions (the most common); therefore the precision of the instrument is

            Δx = 1 mm / 20

            Δx = 0.05 mm

* For the micrometer screw, the precision of the fida rule is 0.5 mm and the number of divisions is 50, therefore the precision of the screw is

            Δx = 0.5mm / 50

            Δx = 0.01 mm

consequently the instrument that gives this precision is the micrometer screw
