Question

1. A particle accelerator fires a proton (mass 1.67 ×10−27 kg) with initial velocity (1.96 ×107 m/s)ˆı. When the proton enters the target chamber, its position vector is ⃗r = (−0.100 m)ˆı+(2.38 ×10−9 m)ˆȷ relative to the target atom. What is the angular momentum of the proton?


2. After interacting with the target atom, the proton in question 1 is detected moving away from the target at angle 15.0◦relative to the x axis with velocity magnitude 9.82 ×106 m/s, hitting a detector at position ⃗r = (1.00 ×10−1 m)ˆı + (2.68 ×10−2 m)ˆȷ from the original position of
the target nucleus. Find the angular momentum of the proton after the interaction.


3. If the interaction time between the proton and the target atom in questions 1 and 2 was 1.02 ×10−9 s, find the average torque exerted on the proton by the target atom.
