A certain carbon monoxide molecule consists of a carbon atom of mass mc = 14 u and an oxygen atom of mass mo = 18 u that are separated by a distance of d = 122 pm, where "u" is an atomic unit of mass.
a. Write a symbolic equation for the location of the center of mass of the carbon monoxide molecule relative to the position of the oxygen atom. This expression should be in terms of the masses of the atoms and the distance between them.
b. Calculate the numeric value for the center of mass of carbon monoxide in units of pm.
Two atoms collide while moving in a gas. The larger atom has a mass M1 = 6 Daltons and a speed v1 = 230 m/s, while the smaller has a mass M2 = 1 Daltons (D). During the collision both atoms simply bounce off each other. They do not change their speeds, but after the collision they each reverse their directions, bouncing straight back. (You may express your results using the mass unit "Daltons". 1 Dalton is approximately equal to the mass of a proton or neutron and is defined as one-twelfth the mass of a single neutral carbon-12 atom in its ground state.)
What is the magnitude of the change in the momentum, Δp1, of mass M1?
A molecule of mass 3x10-26 kg is moving toward a wall at a speed of 3x105 m/s. It bounces back in exactly the opposite direction going at the same 3x105 m/s.
a. What was the magnitude of the change in momentum of the molecule?
b. WHat was the magnitude of the impulse applied to the molecule?
c. If the molecule interacted with the wall for 1 micro second (10-6s), what was the average force of the wall on the molecule?
d. What impulse is applied by the molecule to the wall?
