A proton (p) of mass 1.93-u(unified atomic mass units) traveling with a speed 2.22 x 104 m/s of has an elastic head-on collision with a helium (He) nucleus (mHe = 4.00 u) initially at rest. What is the velocity of helium nucleus after the collision?(As mentioned in Chapter 1, 1 u = 1.66 x 10–27 kg but we won’t need this fact.) Assume the collision takes place in nearly empty space.
An unstable particle at rest breaks up into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the lighter fragment is equal to 2.00 x 10-28 kg and that of the heavier fragment is 1.61 x 10-27 kg. If the lighter fragment has a speed of 0.893c after the breakup, what is the speed of the heavier fragment? C
Antimatter: When a particle and its anti-particle collide, energy and momentum are conserved. However, the particles can annihilate each other and produce two gamma rays - high energy photons. An electron and an anti-electron each have a rest mass of 9.11 × 10-31 kg. Suppose the particles are each accelerated to a speed of 0.98c in a particle accelerator with a length of 1543 m for a head on collision. (Each particle is moving at this speed with respect to the lab, and the particles are moving in opposite directions.) They collide head on and annihilate. What is the wavelength of the gamma rays produced in this collision?

A two-stage rocket (M = 7.50 × 103 kg) initially travels at 4.50 km·s−1 relative to Earth. Explosive charges then separate the capsule (mC = 1.50 × 103 kg) from the booster (mB = 6.00 × 103 kg). After separating, the booster travels at 2.70 km·s−1 along the original direction of motion. a) What was the speed of the capsule just after the stages separated? b) How much energy was released by the explosive charges?

A particle of mass m (particle #1) is fired head-on at speed 48 m/s toward another particle of mass 3m (particle #2) which is at rest. The result of this collision is that #1 comes to a complete stop, and #2 moves forward. (a) At what speed does particle #2 emerge from the collision? (b) What fraction of the original kinetic energy is lost during this process?
A thin empty frame is hung along side A (see figure). Side A is 1.19 m long and side B is 0.957 m long. Side C is hit by a bullet with a mass of 26.0 g, an initial velocity of 148.08 m/s and a final velocity of −118 m/s. Calculate the energy loss during the impact if the frame rotates frictionlessly around the z-axis and the frame's moment of inertia around this axis is 1,885 kg · m². Assume that the ball bounces straight back after the impact.
