- an aerospace is moving away from the earth at a velocity v = 0.6c to carry out a research. when the aircraft is at a distance of d = 5 x 10 ^ 8 km from the earth, a radio signal is sent to the aircraft from observers on earth. Count ita. The crew of the spacecraft conducted research on the collision of an atom. if the hydrogen atom (m = 1.67355 x 10 ^ -27 kg) is moving at the velocity vH = 3.518 x 10 ^ 7 m / s colliding with the nitrogen atom at rest (mN = 2.353 x 10 ^ -26 kg). After the collision, the hydrogen atom is known to be moving with the velocity v'H = 1.353 x 10 ^ 6 m / s at an angle (thaH = 66.74 degrees) relative to the origin of the motion of the hydrogen atom. determine the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the nitrogen atom after the collision and compare the kinetic energy before and the total kineic energy of the atoms after the collision, explaining the meaning of this kinetic energy ratio.An unstable particle at rest breaks up into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the lighter fragment is equal to 2.90 ✕ 10−28 kg and that of the heavier fragment is 1.70 ✕ 10−27 kg. If the lighter fragment has a speed of 0.893c after the breakup, what is the speed of the heavier fragment?TJ,CJ & DJ are working at a particle accelerator facility. In one experiment, they observe that particles A and B collide head on at relativistic speeds. If the velocity of A is 0.764c to the left, and the velocity of B is 0.324c to the right (both of these speeds are measured in Earth's rest frame), how fast are the particles moving with respect to each other?
