Consider an atomic nucleus that’s moving at a speed of 500m/s. This nucleus emits an alpha particle (=nucleus of a Helium atom) in the direction of its velocity, and the new nucleus (produced by the emission of the alpha particle) slows to 450m/s. If the alpha particle has a mass of 4u and the original nucleus has a mass of 208u, what speed does the alpha particle have when it is emitted? (Here u is the atomic mass unit. You could take for u the value of the proton mass, i.e. u = mp = 1.67 × 10−27kg.)
Imagine you take two carts, one with a mass of 8kg and the other with a mass of 12kg. We set up a spring to "explosively" separate them and are able to measure the velocity of the lighter one at 12 m/s. Find the speed of the heavier one.
( THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE INFORMATION GIVEN BELOW. The lift of an observatory tower is accelerating upwards with a = 1m/s, together with a kid inside it. The moment the lift reaches a speed r = 4m/s, the kid lets go of a ball that she has been holding in her hand, at a height L- 2.9 m above the lift floor. As you answer the questions, ignore air resistance and treat the ball as a point-mass. (Take g = 9.8 m/s) A) How long, in seconds does it take the ball t hit the lift floor? Answer: B) What is the total distance travelled by the ball, in meters, from the moment it is released until it hits the floor? Answer
