A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutronto a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of thestrong force. That force, which “glues” the nucleus together, is approximatelyzero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutronwith an initial speed of 1.4 * 107 m/s is just barely captured by anucleus with diameter d = 1.0 * 10-14 m. Assuming the strongforce on the neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force.The neutron’s mass is 1.67 * 10-27 kg.
Most of us know intuitively that in a head-on colli-sion between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Whyis this? Many people imagine that the collision forceexerted on the car is much greater than that exerted onthe truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that thecar is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This ideaof unequal forces, of course, is false; Newton’s third lawtells us that both objects are acted upon by forces of thesame magnitude. The truck suffers less damage because it is made of stronger metal. But what about the two driv-ers? Do they experience the same forces? To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 8.00 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 80.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4 000 kg for the truck. If the colli-sion time is 0.120 s, what…
