Radiation

Radiation can be described as the energy in the form of a particular matter or electromagnetic waves traveling in the air and can be in the form of light, sound, and heat. Radiation can be detected through special instruments like X-rays. The radiation f…

Textbook Question

Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.26P

In a scattering experiment, an alpha particle A is projected with the velocity u₀ = −(600 m/s)i + (750 m/s)j − (800 m/s)k into a stream of oxygen nuclei moving with a common velocity v₀ = (600 m/s)j. After colliding successively with the nuclei B and C, particle A is observed to move along the path defined by the points A₁ (280, 240, 120) and A₂ (360, 320, 160), while nuclei B and C are observed to move along paths defined, respectively, by B₁ (147, 220, 130) and B₂ (114, 290, 120), and by C₁ (240, 232, 90) and C₂ (240, 280, 75). All paths are along straight lines and all coordinates are expressed in millimeters. Knowing that the mass of an oxygen nucleus is four times that of an alpha particle, determine the speed of each of the three particles after the collisions.

A particle strikes the smooth surface with a velocity of 30 m/s. If e = 0.8, (Vx) 2 is _____ after the collision. zero equal to (Vx) 1 less than (Vx) 1 greater than (Vx) 1

An object of mass m1 = 2.0 kg moving at 1.8 m/s collides with an object of mass m2 = 1.4 kg moving from the opposite direction with a speed of 1.5 m/s. After collision, m1 continues to go in the same direction with a speed of 0.3. What will be the speed of m2 after the collision? A 9.0 bullet traveling with a speed of 100 m/s gets embedded in a wooden block of mass 1 kg. The wooden block is hanging like a pendulum as shown in the figure below. To what height h will the wooden block rise, when it comes to a momentary stop. (Hint: do this as a two step problem, g = 9.8 m/s2).

A batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocity of v0 = 114 ft/sec directly toward fielder B at an angle of 22° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.5 ft above ground level. Fielder B requires 0.42 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. Because of great experience, fielder B chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the “catch position” simultaneously with the baseball. The catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 8.5 ft. Determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made.
