Review. Two identical hard spheres, each of mass m and radius r, are released from rest in otherwise empty space with their centers separated by the distance R. They are allowed to collide under the influence of their gravitational attraction. (a) Show that the magnitude of the impulse received by each sphere before they make contact is given by [Gm3(1/2r − 1/R)1/2. (b) What If? Find the magnitude of the impulse each receives during their contact if they collide elastically.

- A particle of mass m moving along the x-axis with a velocity component +u collides head-on and sticks to a particle of mass m/3 moving along the x-axis with the velocity component −u. What is the mass M of the resulting particle?arrow_forwardIn a laboratory experiment, an electron with a kinetic energy of 50.5 keV is shot toward another electron initially at rest (Fig. P11.50). (1 eV = 1.602 1019 J) The collision is elastic. The initially moving electron is deflected by the collision. a. Is it possible for the initially stationary electron to remain at rest after the collision? Explain. b. The initially moving electron is detected at an angle of 40.0 from its original path. What is the speed of each electron after the collision? FIGURE P11.50arrow_forwardThe Moon’s craters are remnants of meteorite collisions. Suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 4.95 × 1012 kg (such an asteroid is about a kilometer across) strikes the Moon at a speed of 14.5 km/s relative to the Moon. What is the change in kinetic energy, in joules, in the collision? Such an event may have been observed by medieval English monks who reported observing a red glow and subsequent haze about the Moon.arrow_forward
- Two identical blocks of mass M = 2.60 kg each are initially at rest on a smooth, horizontal table. A bullet of very small mass m = 20 g (m << M) is fired at a high speed v. = 120 m/s towards the first block. It quickly exits the first block at a reduced speed of 0.40 v, then strikes the second block, quickly getting embedded inside of it. All the motion happens on the x-axis. (a) find the speeds of the two blocks after their encounters with the bullet. (b) Now the first block catches up with the second one and collides with it. They got stuck together afterward and move forward. Find their common speed V after the collision. (c) The two blocks now hit a light spring of spring constant k = 35 N/m mounted on the wall. How far is the spring compressed before the blocks reach a momentary stop?arrow_forwardA radioactive nucleus at rest decays into a second nucleus, an electron, and a neutrino. The electron and neutrino are emitted at right angles and have momenta of pe = 8.95×10-23 kg-m/s and Py = 6.18x10-23 kg. m/s, respectively.

An 8.00[kg] point mass and 15.0[kg] point mass are held in place 50.0[cm] apart. A particle of mass m is released from a point 20.0[cm] from the 8.00 [kg] mass along the line connecting the two fixed masses. What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle?
