During a routine flight in 1956, test pilot Tom Attridge put his jet fighter into a 20 dive for a test of the aircraft’s 20 mm machine cannons. While traveling faster than sound at 4000 m altitude, he shot a burst of rounds.Then, after allowing the cannons to cool, he shot another burst at 2000 m; his speed was then 344 m/s, the speed of the rounds relative to him was 730 m/s, and he was still in a dive. Almost immediately the canopy around him was shredded and his right air intake was damaged.With little flying capability left, the jet crashed into a wooded area, but Attridge managed to escape the resulting explosion. Explain what apparently happened just after the second burst of cannon rounds. (Attridge has been the only pilot who has managed to shoot himself down.)
A space station contains 11 modules each with a mass of 13 000 kg, moves at a speed of 4.0km/s. It is equipped with an emergency collision avoidance system whereby an explosive chargecan be detonated to release one of the modules. The collision alarm sounds, and thecommander detonates a charge, releasing one of the modules at a speed of 1400 km/hwith respect to the station, directed opposite to the original direction of travel of the station.Find the resulting change in the speed of the station.

The dark matter particles in our galaxy should be moving at non-relativistic speeds, so this scattering process can be described using the conservation of momentum governed by Newton's laws without the need for quantum mechanics. One of the most common target materials for these experiments is xenon. Your goal is to answer the following question. Assuming there is a dark matter particle with incident velocity v1 that will scatter from a Xe-136 nucleus (with a mass of 136 amu) that was initially at rest as shown below. What is the dark matter mass? You should solve for the answer symbolically first. Then you will substitute in the values shown below to get out an actual numerical value for the mass, in amu.
