A proton (mass 1 u) is shot toward an unknown target nucleus at a speed of m/s. The proton rebounds with its speed reduced by 25% while the target nucleus acquires a speed of m/s. What is the mass, in atomic mass units, of the target nucleus?
The stoplight had just changed and a 2000 kg Cadillac had entered the intersection, heading north at 3.0 m/s, when it was struck by a 1000 kg eastbound Volkswagen. The cars stuck together and slid to a halt, leaving skid marks angled 35° north of east. How fast was Volkswagen going just before the impact?
A spaceship of mass 2.0 106 kg is cruising at a speed of 5.0 106 m/s when the antimatter reactor fails, blowing the ship into three pieces. One section, having a mass of 5.0 105 kg, is blown straight backward with a speed of 2.0 106 m/s. A second piece, with mass 8.0 105 kg, continues forward at 1.0 106 m/s. What are the direction and speed of the third piece?
Air-track gliders with masses are lined up and held in place with lightweight springs compressed between them. All three are released at once. The glider flies off to the right while the glider goes left. Their position-versus-time graphs, as measured by motion detectors, are shown in FIGURE P11.44. What are the direction (right or left) and speed of the 400 g glider that was in the middle?
