### Problem Statement(c) A projectile proton with a speed of 500 m/s collides elastically with a target proton initially at rest. The two protons then move along perpendicular paths, with the projectile path at 60° from the original direction. After the collision, what are the speeds of (a) the target proton and (b) the projectile proton?### Analysis and Solution**Step 1: Understand the Collision and Given Data**- Initial speed of the projectile proton: \( v_i = 500 \, \text{m/s} \)- Target proton is initially at rest: \( v_{ti} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \)- Angle between projectile proton's path and original direction after collision: \( 60^\circ \)**Step 2: Conservation Laws Applicable**- **Conservation of momentum** in the x and y directions.- **Conservation of kinetic energy** as the collision is elastic.**Step 3: Setup the Momentum Equations**Let:- \( v_{tf} \) be the final speed of the target proton.- \( v_{pf} \) be the final speed of the projectile proton (different from initial speed).**Momentum Conservation in the X-direction:**\[ m \cdot v_i = m \cdot v_{tf} \cos(90^\circ) + m \cdot v_{pf} \cos(60^\circ) \]\[ 500 \, \text{m/s} = 0 + v_{pf} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \]\[ v_{pf} = 1000 \, \text{m/s} \rightarrow (1) \]**Momentum Conservation in the Y-direction:**\[ 0 = m \cdot v_{tf} + m \cdot v_{pf} \sin(60^\circ) \]\[ 0 = v_{tf} + 1000 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]\[ v_{tf} = - 500\cdot\sqrt{3} \rightarrow (2) \]### ConclusionThe solved values for the final speeds are:- **(a) The speed of the target proton**: \( v_{tf} = 500 \cdot \sqrt{3} \)- **(b) The speed of the projectile proton

An object of mass m1=2 kg moving with velocity 12 m/s, collides head-on with an object whose mass is m2=6 kg and velocity is 1 m/s. Given that the collision is elastic, what are the final velocities of the two objects. Neglect friction.
The figure shows a glancing (not head-on) collision between two billiard balls (viewed from above). Ball 1 is initially moving with 2.0 m/s in the positive x direction; ball 2 is initially moving with 1.0 m/s in the opposite direction. After the collision, ball 2 moves at 1.41 m/s in the negative y direction. a) What are the direction (the angle θ from the x axis) and speed of ball 1 after the collision? b) Is this an elastic collision?

A cannon elevated at some angle e (unknown) fires a shell with some initial speed v, (unknown) that has a range R when fired over level ground (see Figure (a)). During a test fire, a shell explodes at the top of the trajectory into two unequal mass fragments. The shell explodes in such a manner that neither fragment experiences a change in momentum in the y direction. However, 24% of the shell (m,) continues onward and the other fragment (m,) falls straight down. Determine the distance D (in terms of R) that the forward moving fragment lands from the cannon (see Figure (b)). D = Explosion site (a) No Explosion (b) With Explosion
