1. In beta decay, an atomic nucleus emits an electron as it turns into another type of nucleus. A 2¹⁰Bi nucleus at rest decays to 210Po. Suppose the emitted electron moves to the right with momentum 5.60 x 10-22 kg m/s. The 210Po nucleus, with mass 3.50 x 10-25 kg, recoils to the left at a speed of 1.14 x 10³ m/s. Momentum conservation requires that a second particle, called an antineutrino, must also be emitted. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the antineutrino's momentum. 210PO 210Bi Before After e ?

The following question concerns a collision in outer space, far enough from any planets so that the external forces can be considered as negligible. An unmanned spacecraft, having mass 1,500,000 kg and speed 25,000 km/hr collides with a small meteor, having mass 3,000 kg and speed 2,100 km/hr, in the Kuiper belt. a. Prior to the collision, what are the total kinetic energy and total momentum? b. Assuming a head-on collision, in which the meteor becomes lodged into the spacecraft’s body and the two objects move off together, what are the total kinetic energy and momentum after the collision? c. If instead of getting lodged into the spacecraft, the meteor bounced off, would the change in the space craft’s momentum be larger or smaller, or is there not enough information to tell? Explain.

The magnitude of the ball's momentum was the same just before and just after the bounce. C.) The ball's momentum was conserved during the bounce. D.) None of the above statements are correct.

You drop a steel ball and a clay ball, both of the same mass, from the same distance. The steel ball strikes the ground and rebounds with almost the same speed. The clay ball strikes the ground and sticks. Assume the collisions occur over roughly the same amount of time. Which ball exerted a greater force on the ground? Select the correct answer with the best explanation. A. The two exert the same force. Since they collide with the same initial momentum, they will exert thesame force.B. The clay ball exerts the greater force. Since it starts with some momentum and ends with no momen- tum, it undergoes a greater change in momentum than the steel ball, which rebounds with the same momentum (no change).C. The clay ball exerts the greater force. All of its energy is transferred to the floor, whereas the steelball rebounds with the same kinetic energy, doing no work on the floor.D. The steel ball exerts the greater force. Since it starts with some momentum and it reverses the direction of…

The ballistic pendulum is a device to measure the speed of a bullet using conservation of energy and momentum. A 20 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.1 kg wood block hanging from a 1.2-m-long string. The bullet embeds itself into the block, and the block then swings out to an angle of 35°. A. How high does the block of wood go relative to its initial height when its hanging straight down? B. What is the increase in gravitational potential energy of the wood block at its maximum height? C. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed of the block just after the bullet strikes it. D. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the bullet right before it strikes the block.
