You and a friend each hold a lump of wet clay. Each lump has a mass of 30 grams. You each toss your lump of clay into the air, w

here the lumps collide and stick together. Just before the impact, the velocity of one lump was < 3, 3, -3 > m/s, and the velocity of the other lump was < -4, 0, -4 > m/s. What is the velocity of the stuck-together lump just after the collision

Answer:

\ \text{m/s}

Explanation:

u_1 = Velocity of one lump = 3x+3y-3z

u_2 = Velocity of the other lump = -4x+0y-4z

m = Mass of each lump = 30\ \text{g}

The collision is perfectly inelastic as the lumps stick to each other so we have the relation

mu_1+mu_2=(m+m)v\\\Rightarrow m(u_1+u_2)=2mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+u_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3x+3y-3z-4x+0y-4z}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=-0.5x+1.5y-3.5z=\ \text{m/s}

The velocity of the stuck-together lump just after the collision is \ \text{m/s}.

What do measurements of the number of neutrinos emitted by the Sun tell us about conditions deep in the solar interior?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The neutrinos are produced in the core of the sun by nuclear fusion and measuring their number helps us confirm that there are enough proton-proton chain reactions of each which produce a neutrino and going on in the Sun's core to explain the energy output of the Sun.
