A proton of mass m undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a stationary nucleus of mass 3m. The speed of the proton is 730 m/s. Find the velocity of the center of mass of the system.
A proton (mass 1 u) moving at 9.00 10^(6) m/s collides elastically and head-on with a second particle moving in the opposite direction at 2.00 10^(6) m/s. After the collision, the proton is moving opposite to its initial direction at 5.40 10^(6) m/s. Find the mass and final velocity of the second particle. [Take the proton's initial velocity to be in the positive direction.]
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.

1. A proton travels directly (head on) towards a stationary lead nucleus, with an initial speed vo, when the proton is a distance xo from the nucleus. It undergoes an acceler- ation of magnitude a k directed away from the nucleus, where is the distance from the proton to the nucleus and k is a positive constant. (Assume the lead nucleus remains stationary throughout.) (a) Give an expression for how the velocity of the proton depends on r. (It will...

A block of mass m1 = 1.60kg moving at v1 = 2.00m/s undergoes a completely inelastic collision with a stationary block of mass m2 = 0.100kg . The blocks then move, stuck together, at speed v2. After a short time, the two-block system collides inelastically with a third block, of massm3 = 2.70kg , which is initially at rest. The three blocks then move, stuck together, with speed v3.(Figure 1) Assume that the blocks slide without friction.Part AFind v2v1, the...
Consider a head-on elastic collision of a ‘bullet’ of rest-mass M with a stationary ‘target’ of rest-mass m. Prove that the post-collision γ-factor of the bullet cannot exceed (m2+M2 )/(2Mm). This means that for large bullet energies (with γ-factors much larger than this critical value), the relative transfer of energy from bullet to target is almost total.
