I'm attracted to you. An 8.00[kg] point mass and 15.0[kg] point mass are held in place 50.0[cm] apart. A particle of mass m is released from a point 20.0[cm] from the 8.00 [kg] mass along the line connecting the two fixed masses. What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle?

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 mB travels to the right with speed vB. Show the velocity of piece B in terms of mA, mB 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 mBv + mAv = 0 Deriving the expression for the velocity of piece B results to

1. Consider a mass m initially at rest at a large distance I from center of the earth (l>R the earth's radius). The mass m is released and falls toward the earth. (a) Calculate the speed of the mass as a function of its distance x from the center of the earth. (b) In the approximation that l>>R, how much time does it take for the mass m to reach the earth? Express your answers in terms of R, 1, g (acceleration at the earth's surface) and (for part a) x.
An observer is stationary in the inertial system S. A car is moving in the x-direction with speed v = c / √2 with respect to the observer in S. The driver of the car is stationary with respect to the car, and thus the driver is in a different inertial frame S′. The passenger of the car takes out a baseball, opens the sunroof of the car and throws out the ball with a velocity vB =c/√2. If the baseball is thrown in the x-direction (in the same direction the car is moving), what is the speed of the baseball as seen by the observer in S?
Particle A has one-third the mass of particle B. The two particles have equal momenta. Is uA less than, greater than, or equal to 3uB? Explain.
A Uranium-235 atom (235.0439 u) that is initially at rest undergoes a fission reaction (breaks apart) and releases Barium-139 (138.9088 u) and Krypton-95 (94.9398 u), and two neutrons (1.00866491588 u). If the Barium-139 moves at 1.10 x 10^5 m/s [E] and the Krypton-95 moves at 1.59 x 10^5 m/s [N 15 degrees W], calculate the combined momenta of the remaining neutrons. Recall: u = 1.6605* 10^-27 kg
