Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.26P

In a scattering experiment, an alpha particle A is projected with the velocity u₀ = −(600 m/s)i + (750 m/s)j − (800 m/s)k into a stream of oxygen nuclei moving with a common velocity v₀ = (600 m/s)j. After colliding successively with the nuclei B and C, particle A is observed to move along the path defined by the points A₁ (280, 240, 120) and A₂ (360, 320, 160), while nuclei B and C are observed to move along paths defined, respectively, by B₁ (147, 220, 130) and B₂ (114, 290, 120), and by C₁ (240, 232, 90) and C₂ (240, 280, 75). All paths are along straight lines and all coordinates are expressed in millimeters. Knowing that the mass of an oxygen nucleus is four times that of an alpha particle, determine the speed of each of the three particles after the collisions.
