A proton makes a head-on collision with an unknown particle at rest. The proton rebounds straight back with 4/9 of its initial kinetic energy. Find the ratio of the mass of the unknown particle to the mass of the proton, assuming that the collision is elastic.
An alpha particle with a kinetic energy of 12.0 MeV makes a head-on collision with a gold nucleus at rest. What is the distance of closest approach of the two particles? (Assume that the gold nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. A gold nucleus has 79 protons, and an alpha particle is a helium nucleus consisting of two protons and two neutrons. The mass of an alpha particle is 6.64424 x 10-27 kg....
Problem 4 (1 points) A proton (P) of mass 1.01 u (unified atomic mass unit) traveling a speed of 3.5x109 m/s has an elastic head on collision with a helium (He) nucleus (mwe = 4.00u) initially at rest. What are the velocities of the proton and helium nucleus after collision? Assume the collision takes place in nearly empty space. (Hint: conservation of linear momentum, elastic collision)
A neutron in a reactor makes an elastic head on collision with the nucleus of an atom initially at rest. Assume: The mass of the atomic nucleus is about 13.7 the mass of the neutron. a)What fraction of the neutron’s kinetic energy is transferred to the atomic nucleus? b)If the initial kinetic energy of the neutron is 1.93 × 10−13 J, find its final kinetic energy. Answer in units of J.
A neutron in a nuclear reactor makes an elastic, head-on collision with the nucleus of a carbon atom initially at rest. (a) What fraction of the neutron's kinetic energy is transferred to the carbon nucleus? (The mass of the carbon nucleus is about 12.0 times the mass of the neutron.) _______ (b) The initial kinetic energy of the neutron is 1.10 x 10-13 J. Find its final kinetic energy and the kinetic energy of the carbon nucleus after the collision. neutron _______ J carbon nucleus...

hi please show your work clearly and explain, thank you! 10. An proton-antiproton pair is produced by a 2.20 x 100 MeV photon. What is the kinetic energy of the antiproton if the kinetic energy of the proton is 161.90 MeV? Use the following Joules-to-electron-Volts conversion 1eV = 1.602 x 10-19 J. The rest mass of a proton is 1.67 x 10-27 kg. MeV
An alpha particle with kinetic energy 13.0 MeV makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude L=p0b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.30×10−12 m . (Assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. The atomic number...

1. /10 A proton (atomie mass = 1.0 u) with a speed of 500 m/s collides with another target) proton at rest. The original proton is scattered 60° from its initial direction while the target proton is scattered -30° from that direction. (a) What are the speeds of both protons after the collision? (b) Is the collision elastic? (Note: An elastic collision means that the total kinetic energy of the system is the same before and after the collision.)
