An atomic nucleus suddenly bursts apart (fission) into two pieces. Piece A with mass ma travels to the left with a speed of VA. Piece B with mass mg travels to the right with speed vg. Show the velocity of piece B in terms of mA, mg and VA: Solution: Consider that the nucleus is not acted by an external force. Thus, momentum is conserved, so: PBf + PAf =0 Substituting the expression for momentum results to mgV mAV = 0 Deriving the expression for the velocity of piece B results to V =(mA/m VA

Starting from rest, two skaters "push off" against each other on smooth level ice, where friction is negligible. One is a woman and one is a man. The woman moves away with a velocity of +2.0 m/s relative to the ice. The mass of the woman is 57 kg, and the mass of the man is 76 kg. Assuming that the speed of light is 3.5 m/s, so that the relativistic momentum must be used, find the recoil velocity of the man relative to the ice. (Hint: This problem is similar to Example 6 in Chapter 7.) Number i Units
Starting from rest, two skaters "push off" against each other on smooth level ice, where friction is negligible. One is a woman and one is a man. The woman moves away with a velocity of +2.2 m/s relative to the ice. The mass of the woman is 57 kg, and the mass of the man is 88 kg. Assuming that the speed of light is 2.8 m/s, so that the relativistic momentum must be used, find the recoil velocity of the man relative to the ice.

Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small and dense by scattering helium-4 nuclei (4He) from gold-197 nuclei (197Au ). The energy of the incoming helium nucleus was 8.00×10−13J, and the masses of the helium and gold nuclei were 6.68×10−27kg and 3.29×10−25kg, respectively (note that their mass ratio is 4 to 197). (a) If a helium nucleus scatters to an angle of 120º during an elastic collision with a gold nucleus, calculate the helium nucleus’s final speed and the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the gold nucleus. (b) What is the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus?

The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of objects. A 14C nucleus can change into a different kind of element, a neighbor on the periodic table with lower mass, by emitting a beta particle – an electron or positron – plus a neutrino or an anti-neutrino. Consider the scenario where 14C ( mass of 2.34 x 10 -26) decays by emitting an electron and anti neutrino. The electron has a mass of 9.11x 10-31 kg and a speed of 1.0 x107 m/s. While the anti neutrino has a momentum of 4.0x10-24 kg-m/s. If the electron and anti neutrino are emitted at right angles from each other, calculate the recoil speed of the nucleus.
