Explanation Given: A well-established model for the potential energy of the two nucleons is interacting via the strong force is U = U 0 ( 1 − e − x x 0 ) , where x is the distance between the centres of the two nucleons, x 0 = 2.0 × 10 − 15 m , and U 0 = 6.0 × 10 − 11 J . Formula used: K.E. of an object moving with velocity v 1 2 m v 2 . The potential energy of the two nucleons is interacting via the strong force is U = U 0 ( 1 − e − x x 0 ) . Calculation: The decrease in potential energy of the neutrons results in the KE of the crashing neutrons. When the neutrons crash let their speed be v and separation (distance between the centres) will be diameter of the neutron. x 2 = 1.0 × 10 − 15 m . Let initial separation x 1 = 5.0 × 10 − 15 m . Then, U 1 − U 2 = 1 2 m n v 2 + 1 2 m n v 2 U 0 ( 1 − e − x 1 x 0 ) − U 0 ( 1 − e − x 2 x 0 ) = m n v 2 U 0 ( e − x 2 x 0 − e − x 1

Kinematics

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

In the Donkey Kong Country video games you often get around by shooting yourself out of barrel cannons. Donkey Kong wants to launch out of one barrel and land in a different one that is a distance in x of 9.28 m away. To do so he launches himself at a velocity of 22.6 m/s at an angle of 30.0°. At what height does the 2nd barrel need to be for Donkey Kong to land in it? (measure from the height of barrel 1, aka y0=0)
