Answer to Problem 62P

The final speed of the particles of mass m and 3m are 2vi and 23vi respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The masses of the particle are m and 3m . The initial speed of both the particle is vi .

Write the expression to calculate the initial momentum of both particle.

Pi=mvii^+3mvii^=2mvii^

Here,

Pi is the initial momentum of both particle.

Write the expression to calculate the initial kinetic energy of both particle.

KEi=12m×vi2+123m×vi2=2mvi2

Here,

KEi is the initial kinetic energy of both particle.

Write the expression of final momentum of the particle of mass m.

Pmf=mvmfj^

Here,

vmf is the final velocity of the particle of mass m.

Write the expression of conservation of momentum equation.

Pi=Pmf+P3mfP3mf=PiPmf (1)

Here,

Pmf is the final momentum of the particle of mass m .

P3mf is the final momentum of the particle of mass 3m .

Substitute 2mvii^ for Pi and mvmfj^ for Pmf in equation (1) to find P3mf .

P3mf=2mvii^+mvmfj^

Write the expression to calculate the final velocity of the particle of mass 3m .

v3mf=P3mf3m (2)

Here,

v3mf is the final velocity of the particle of mass 3m .

Substitute 2mvii^+mvmfj^ for P3mf in equation (2) to find v3mf .

v3mf=2mvii^+mvmfj^3m=23vii^+13vmfj^

Write the expression of conservation of energy.

KEmf+KE3mf=KEi12mvmf2+123mv3mf2=KEi (3)

Here,

KEmf is the final kinetic energy of the particle of mass m .

KE3mf is the final kinetic energy of the particle of mass 3m .

Substitute 2mvi2 for KEi and 23vii^+13vmfj^ for v3mf in equation (3).

12mvmf2+123m(23vii^+13vmfj^)2=2mvi212mvmf2+123m(49vi2+19vmf2)=2mvi2vmf=32(2mvi223mvi2)=2vi

Thus, the final speed of the particle of mass m is 2vi .

The final velocity of the particle of mass 3m is,

v3mf=23vii^+13vmfj^ (4)

The final speed of the particle of mass m is 2vi .

Substitute 2vi for vmf in equation (4) to find v3mf .

v3mf=23vii^+132vij^

The magnitude of the velocity v3mf is,

|v3mf|=(23vii^)2+(132vij^)2=23vi

Thus, the final speed of the particle of mass 3m is 23vi .

Conclusion:

Therefore, the final speed of the particles of mass m and 3m are 2vi and 23vi respectively.

Answer to Problem 62P

The angle θ at which the particle 3m is scattered is 35.3° .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The masses of the particle are m and 3m . The initial speed of both the particle is vi .

Write the expression to calculate the angle θ at which the particle 3m is scattered.

θ=tan1(v3mfyv3mfx)

Here,

v3mfy is the final velocity of the particle of mass 3m in y direction.

v3mfx is the final velocity of the particle of mass 3m in x direction.

The final velocity of the particle of mass 3m is,

v3mf=23vii^+132vij^ . (5)

The x and y component of v3mf is,

v3mfx=23vi and v3mfy=132vi

Substitute 23vi for v3mfx and 132vi for v3mfy in equation (5) to find θ .

θ=tan1(132vi23vi)=35.3°

Thus, the angle θ at which the particle 3m is scattered is 35.3° .

Conclusion:

Therefore, the angle θ at which the particle 3m is scattered is 35.3° .
