A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong force. That force, which "glues" the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an initial speed of 1.9 × 107 m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with diameter d = 1.3 × 10-¹4 m. Assuming that the strong force on the neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron's mass is 1.67 × 10-27 kg.

You are abducted by aliens and find yourself locked in a large room on some strangeplanet. To pass the time, you decide to do some experiments using a ball-and-chain thatyou find on the floor. You make the following estimates:mBALL approximately equals 7 kg, mCHAIN approximately equals 0.5 kg, and CHAIN approximately equals 2 m. (a) When you hold the free end of the chain above your head and allow the ball to swinglike a pendulum, you use your wristwatch to measure the period as T approximately equals 4s. What is theacceleration due to gravity on this planet? Give explanation to your answer (b)If the ball accidentally hits a wall, how long does it take for this jolt in the chain totravel up to your hand?
this is a multi step problem but I am just having trouble with this part of the problem. Here are the values that I correctly calculated: mass of particle 1=6 kg initial velocity for particle 1= 185i+138j final velocity for particle 1= -68.89i+-50.67j F21=-15.9e-t/96i+-100sin(2πt/96)j I am trying to find: What is the x displacement for particle 1? I think that I need to use Newtons second law to get an expression for acceleration, and then integrate but I am not getting the right answers.

Professional Application Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small and dense by scattering Hhelium-4 nuclei (4 He) from Gold-197 nuclei (197 Au). The energy of the incoming helium nucleus was 8.00×10−13 J, and the masses of the helium and gold nuclei were 6.68×10−27 kg and 3.29×10−25 kg, respectively (note that their mass ratio is 4 to 197). (a) If a helium nucleus scatters to an angle of 120o during an elastic collision with a gold nucleus, calculate the helium nucleus’s final speed and the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the gold nucleus. (b) What is the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus?
