with a ball of mass m, = 200g which is, initially at rest. Calculate the final velocities, V,
and V2p in the event that the collision is elastic.
given a random scenario a proton with at0m mass 1.00 has speed of 500m/s collide with another proton at rest. and the collided elastically! the original proton went 56 degree from the initial direction 0f the travel.
FIND:
1. what is the direction of the velocity of 2nd pr0ton after they collided

A neutron with mass m1 moving with velocity v0 collides elastically and head-on with a target particle with mass m2 that is at rest. After the collision, the neutron moves with velocity v1f and the target particle moves with velocity v2f.
Write the two equations that express conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy for this collision.
Consider collisions of the neutron (mass = 1.0 atomic mass unit (amu)) with the following stationary target particles
an electron (mass =5 x 10-4 amu)
a proton (mass = 1.0 amu)
the nucleus of a carbon atom (mass = 12.0 amu)
the nucleus of a uranium atom (mass = 238 amu)
Match some of the collisions above with each of the following head-on collisions that we discussed in lecture:
the collision between two billiard balls, one of the billiard balls initially at rest
the collision between a ping pong ball and a bowling ball, the ping pong ball initially at rest
the collision between a ping pong ball and a bowling ball, the bowling…
