An atomic nucleus suddenly bursts apart (fission) into two pieces. Piece A with mass ma travels to the left with a speed of VA. Piece B with mass mg travels to the right with speed vg. Show the velocity of piece B in terms of mA, mg and VA: Solution: Consider that the nucleus is not acted by an external force. Thus, momentum is conserved, so: PBf + PAf =0 Substituting the expression for momentum results to mgV mAV = 0 Deriving the expression for the velocity of piece B results to V =(mA/m VA

In a frame at rest with respect to the billiard table, a billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v strikes another billiard ball of mass m at rest. The first ball comes to rest after the collision while the second ball takes off with speed v in the original direction of the motion of the first ball. This shows that momentum is conserved in this frame. (a) Now, describe the same collision from the perspective of a frame that is moving with speed v in the direction of the motion of the first ball. (b) Is the momentum conserved in this frame?
