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.
Answer:
The bulb is not powered because the negative end of the battery is not connected to the electric current,making it dysfunctional. The electrons have to flow through the positive and negative ends of the battery in order for it to work.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
t = 2.5 hours
Explanation:
given,
speed of the bike for t time= 18 mi/h
final speed of the bike after t time = 12 mi/h
total distance, D = 69 miles
total time, T= 4.5 hour
time for which speed of the bike is 18 mi/h = ?
we know distance = speed x time
now,
18 x t + 12 (4.5 - t) = 69
6 t + 54 = 69
6 t = 15
t = 2.5 hours
The bike was at the speed of 18 mi/h for 2.5 hours.
