An atomic nucleus at rest at the origin of an xycoordinate system transforms into three particles. Particle 1, mass 16.7×10-27kg, moves away from the origin at velocity(6.00×106ms); particle 2, mass8.35×10-27kg, moves away at velocity(-8.00×106ms).(a) In unit-vector notation, what is the linear momentum of the third particle, mass11.7×10-27kg? (b) How much kinetic energy appears in this transformation?

Step 1: Given

  1. M1=16.7×10-27kgandv1=6.00×106msi^
  2. M2=8.35×10-27kgandv2=-8.00×106msj^
  3. M3=11.7×10-27kg

Determining the concept

Using the formula of conservation of momentum, find the linear momentum of the third particle of mass11.7×10-27kg. From this momentum, find the velocity of the third particle. Then, the amount of kinetic energy appeared in transformation by adding K.E of all particles.

Formulae are as follow:

mivi=mfvfk=12mv2

Here, m is mass, v is velocity and k is kinetic energy.

(a) Determine the linear momentum of the third particle of mass 11.7×10-27 kg in unit vector notation

Mass of the nucleus is,

mi=M1+M2+M3

Substitute the values and solve as:

mi=16.7×10-27kg+8.35×10-27kg+11.7×10-27kgmi=36.75×10-27kg

As the nucleus is at rest before the transformation, the velocity of nucleus is,

vi=0ms

Now, according to conservation of momentum,

mivi=mfvfmivi=m1v1+m2v2+m3v30=m1v1+m2v2+m3v3m3v3=-m1v1+m2v2

Substitute the values and solve as:

role="math" localid="1661313325635" m3v3=-16.7×10-27kg6.00×106msi^-8.35×10-27kg-8.00×106msj^m3v3=-1.0×10-19kgmsi^+0.67×10-27kgmsj^

Therefore, the linear momentum of the third particle of mass role="math" localid="1661313375641" 11.7×10-27kgis m3v3=-1.0×10-19kgmsi^+0.67×10-27kgmsj^.

(b) Determining the amount of kinetic energy appeared in transformation in unit vector notation

The linear momentum of the third particle of mass11.7×10-27kgis,

m3v3=-1.0×10-19kgmsi^+0.67×10-27kgmsj^

v3=-1.0×10-19kgmsi^+0.67×10-19kgmsj^11.7×10-27kg

Finding resultant of the numerator and dividing it by mass,

v3=1.03×107ms

Therefore,

KE=12m1v12+12m2v2+12m3v32KE=12m1v12+12m2v2+12m3

Substitute the values and solve as:

KE=1216×10-27kg6.00×106msi^2+128.35×10-27kg-8.00×106msj^21211.7×10-27kg1.03×107ms2KE=1.188×10-12~1.19×10-12J.

Therefore, the amount of kinetic energy appeared in transformation is 1.19×10-12J.

Using the conservation of momentum, the velocity of one of the objects from the velocities of the other objects of the system can be found. From this, the kinetic energy of the system is found.

Figure 9-28 shows four groups of three or four identical particles that move parallel to either the x-axis or the y-axis, at identical speeds. Rank the groups according to center-of-mass speed, greatest first.

A body is traveling at 2.0ms along the positive direction of an xaxis; no net force acts on the body. An internal explosion separates the body into two parts, each of 4.0 kg, and increases the total kinetic energy by 16 J. The forward part continues to move in the original direction of motion. What are the speeds of (a) the rear part and (b) the forward part?

A 0.550 kgball falls directly down onto concrete, hitting it with a speed of12.0msand rebounding directly upward with a speed of3.00ms. Extend a yaxis upward. In unit-vector notation, what are (a) the change in the ball’s momentum, (b) the impulse on the ball, and (c) the impulse on the concrete?

Speed amplifier.In Fig. 9-75, block 1 of mass m1 slides along an x axis on a frictionless floor with a speed of v1i=4.00m/s.Then it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2 of mass m2=0.500m1. Next, block 2 undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 3 of mass m3=0.500m2. (a) What then is the speed of block 3? Are (b) the speed, (c) the kinetic energy, and (d) the momentum of block 3 is greater than, less than, or the same as the initial values for block 1?

A force in the negative direction of an x-axis is applied for 27 msto a 0.40 kgball initially moving at14 m/sin the positive direction of the axis. The force varies in magnitude, and the impulse has magnitude32.4 N.s. What are the balls (a) Speed and (b) Direction of travel just after the force is applied? What are (c) The average magnitude of the force and (d) The direction of the impulse on the ball?
