Two ice skaters with masses of 22.8 kg and 11.1 kg slide toward each other on a frictionless surface with speeds of 3.6 m/s and 2.8 m/s respectively. The two ice skaters lock hands after colliding head-on. Find the final speed of the two ice skaters.
The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archaeological artefacts. 14C decays to 14N by a process known as beta decay, in which the nucleus emits an electron (also known as a beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted in opposite directions to each other. The electron has a speed of 5 x 10 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 5 x 1024 kg m/s. n as What is the recoil speed of the resulting 14N nucleus? (Take the mass of the carbon-14 and nitrogen-14 nuclei to be 2.34 x 10 26 kg and the mass of the electron to be 9.11 x 1031 kg. If you were aware of such things and concerned, please ignore relativistic effects.)
