Answer:

14.2 m/s

Explanation:

From reading the problem we know this is an inelastic collision since the objects stick together after the collision. We can write this as:

mv + MV = (m+M)x

Lets assign some values now:

m = 300 kg

M = 800 kg

v = 20 m/s

V = 12 m/s

x = Final Velocity (usually written as vf)

Now plug and chug!

(300)(20) + (800)(12) = (300+800)x

Simplify and isolate x (final velocity of both bodies):

6000 + 9600 = 1100x

15600 = 1100x

14.2 = x

14. 2 m/s = final velocity

In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy 300 keV is 16.0 cm . You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used inst
dem82 [27]

Answer:

r_\alpha=16cm

Explanation:

The radius of the circumference described by a particle in a cyclotron is given by:

r=\frac{mv}{qB}(1)

m is the particle's mass, v is the speed of the particle, q is the particle's charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.

Kinetic energy is defined as:

K=\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{m^2v^2}{2m}\\

Solving this for mv:

mv=\sqrt{2mK}(2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

r=\frac{\sqrt{2mK}}{qB}

For protons, we have:

r_p=\frac{\sqrt{2m_pK}}{eB}(3)

For alpha particles, we have:

r_\alpha=\frac{\sqrt{2m_\alpha K}}{(2e)B}(4)

Dividing (4) in (3):

\frac{r_\alpha}{r_p}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{2m_\alpha K}}{(2e)B}}{\frac{\sqrt{2m_p K}}{(e)B}}\\r_\alpha=\frac{r_p}{2}\sqrt{\frac{m_\alpha}{m_p}}\\r_\alpha=\frac{16cm}{2}\sqrt{\frac{6.64*10^{-27}kg}{1.67*10^{-27}kg}}\\r_\alpha=\frac{16cm}{2}(\sqrt{3.98})\\\\r_\alpha=\frac{16cm}{2}(2)\\r_\alpha=16cm

On the surface of the earth the weight of an object is 200 lb. Determine the height of the
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The height of the  object is 5007.4 miles.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of object = 200 lb

We need to calculate the value of Gmm_{e}

Using formula of gravitational force

F=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{r^2}

Put the value into the formula

200=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{(3958.756)^2}

200\times(3958.756)^2=Gmm_{e}

Gmm_{e}=3.134\times10^{9}

We need to calculate the height of the  object

Using formula of gravitational force

F=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{r^2}

Put the value into the formula

125=\dfrac{200\times(3958.756)^2}{r^2}

r^2=\dfrac{200\times(3958.756)^2}{125}

r^2=25074798.5

r=\sqrt{25074798.5}

r=5007.4\ miles

Hence. The height of the  object is 5007.4 miles.
