1. One way that scientists measure the mass of an unknown particle is to bounce a known particle, such as a proton or an electron, off the unknown particle in a bubble chamber. The initial and rebound velocities of the known particle are measured from photographs of the bubbles it creates as it moves; the information is used to determine the mass of the unknown particle.
A. If a known particle of mass π and initial speed π£0 collides elastically, head-on with a stationary unknown particle and then rebounds with speed π£, find an expression for the mass πu of the unknown particle in terms of π, π£, and π£0.
πu=
B. Assume that the known particle is a proton, with initial speed π£0=3.00Γ10^4 m/s, and that the unknown particle is a neutron. What will be the recoil speed π£p of the proton?
π£p= m/s
C. What will be the final speed π£n of the neutron?
π£n= m/s
2. Two hockey players collide on the ice and go down together in a tangled heap. Player 1 has a mass of 105kg and player 2 has a mass of 92.0kg. Before the collision, player 1 had a velocity π£β 1,i of 6.10 m/s6.10 m/s in the +π₯ direction, and player 2 had a velocity π£β 2,i of 5.60 m/s at an angle π2,i of 72.0β with respect to the +π₯ -axis, as shown in the figure.
At what final speed π£f do the players slide together on the ice after the collision?
π£f= m/s
At what angle πf relative to the +π₯-axis do the players slide together on the ice after the collision?
πf=
please answer all
