Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as,

  • The mass of the object AmA=7kg .
  • The initial momentum of object A is, pA,i=17,-5,0kg.m/s .
  • The mass of object B is, mB=11kg .
  • The initial momentum of object B is, pB,i=4,6,0kg.m/s.

After the collision, the final momentum of object A is, pA,f=13,3,0kg.m/s.

02

Significance of the law of conservation of momentum, the first law of thermodynamics, and work-energy theorem for the objects

This law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an object before and after collision with another object becomes equal.

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in the internal energy of a system is equal to the difference between the heat added and the work done by the system.

The work-energy theorem states that the net change in the work is equal to the change in the kinetic energy.

The law of conservation of momentum gives the initial and the final momentum of objects A, B, and the system. The first law of thermodynamics and the work-energy theorem gives the increase in the internal energy of the system along with its kinetic energies of them

The expression for the total initial momentum of the system is expressed as,

Pinitial=PA,i+PB,iFor pA,i=17,-5,0kg·m/sand pB,i=4,6,0kg·m/s

Thus, the total initial momentum of the system is21,1,0kg·m/s.

In a reference frame where a ∆+ particle is at rest it decays into a proton and a high-energy photon (a “gamma ray”): +P++γ+. The mass of the ∆+ particle is 1232 MeV/c2and the mass of the proton is 938 MeV/c2(1 MeV = 106eV). Calculate the energy of the gamma ray and the speed of the proton.

A Fe-57 nucleus is at rest and in its first excited state, 14.4 keV above the ground state (14.4 × 103 eV, where 1 eV = 1.6×10−19 J). The nucleus then decays to the ground state with the emission of a gamma ray (a high-energy photon). (a) Wthe recoil speed of the nucleus? (b) Calculate the slight difference in eV between the gamma-ray energy and the 14.4 keV difference between the initial and final nuclear states. (c) The “Mössbauer effect” is the name given to a related phenomenon discovered by Rudolf Mössbauer in 1957, for which he received the 1961 Nobel Prize for physics. If the Fe-57 nucleus is in a solid block of iron, occasionally when the nucleus emits a gamma ray the entire solid recoils as one object. This can happen due to the fact that neighbouring atoms and nuclei are connected by the electric interatomic force. In this case, repeat the calculation of part (a) and compare with your previous result. Explain briefly

In outer space a rock whose mass is 3kg and whose velocity was(3900,-2900,3000)m/sstruck a rock with mass 13kg and velocity(220,-260,300)m/s. After the collision, the 3kg rock’s velocity is(3500,-2300,3500)m/s. (a) What is the final velocity of the 13kg rock? (b) What is the change in the internal energy of the rocks? (c) Which of the following statements about Q (transfer of energy into the system because of a temperature difference between system and surroundings) are correct? (1)Q0 because the duration of the collision was very short. (2)Q=Ethermal of the rocks. (3)Q0 because there are no significant objects in the surroundings. (4)Q=k of the rocks.

A charged pion ( mpc2= 139.6 MeV) at rest decays into a muon (mμ= 105.7 MeV) and a neutrino (whose mass is very nearly zero). Find the kinetic energy of the muon and the kinetic energy of the neutrino, in MeV (1 MeV = 1×106eV).

In a nuclear fission reactor, each fission of a uranium nucleus is accompanied by the emission of one or more high-speed neutrons, which travel through the surrounding material. If one of theneutrons is captured in another uranium nucleus, it can trigger fission, which produces more fast neutrons, which could make possible a chain reaction
