Chapter 1: Q12CP (page 21)

A proton travelling with a velocity of passes the origin at a time 9.0 s after a proton detector is turned on. Assuming that the velocity of the proton does not change, what will be its position at time 9.7 s?

Short Answer

Expert verified

At time , the proton will be present at .

Step by step solution

01

Definition of average velocity

Average velocity is the ratio of displacement and time taken. It can be expressed as:

From this equation, can be shown as .

02

Finding final position of the proton

According to problem statement,

Substitute these values in the equation ,

Hence, the final position of the proton is .

9 An ice hockey puck of mass 170 g enters the goal with a momentum of ⟨0, 0, −6.3⟩ kg m/s, crossing the goal line at location ⟨0, 0,−26⟩ m relative to an origin in the center of the rink. The puck had been hit by a player 0.4 s before reaching the goal. What was the location of the puck when it was hit by the player, assuming negligible friction between the puck and the ice? (Note that the ice surface lies in the xz plane.)

A "cosmic-ray" proton hits the upper atmosphere with a speed 0.9999c, where c is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the momentum of this proton? Note that |v→|/c=0.9999; you don't actually need to calculate the speed|v|.
