A 21.0 kg body is moving in the direction of the positive x axis with a speed of 100.0 m/s when, owing to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, whose mass is 7.00 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 180 m/s in the direction of the positive y axis. A second fragment, with a mass of 4.00 kg, moves in the direction of the negative x axis with a...
A 32.0-$kg$ body is moving in the direction of the positive x axis with a speed of 376 $m/s$ when, owing to an internal explosion, it breaks into three pieces. One part, whose mass is 9.5 $kg$, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 371 $m/s$ along the positive y axis. A second fragment, whose mass is 3.0 $kg$, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 486 $m/s$ along the negative x...
An electron moving with a speed of 8.8 x105 m/s in the positive z direction experiences zero magnetic force. When it moves in the positive x direction it experiences a force of 2.4 x10-13 N that points in the negative y direction. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field? Magnitude: B= _____________T Direction: Magnetic field is pointed in ____________(indicate positive or negative) direction of ______________(indicate which axis i.e. x, y, or z) axis.
A photon moving in the +x-direction, scatters off a free stationary electron. The wavelength of the incident photon is 0.0410 nm. After the collision, the electron moves at an angle α below the +x-axis, while the photon moves at an angle θ = 73.3° above the +x-axis. (For the purpose of this exercise, assume that the electron is traveling slow enough that the non-relativistic relationship between momentum and velocity can be used.) (a) What is the angle α (in degrees)?...
An air hockey puck traveling in the positive x direction hits another puck sitting at rest at the origin, in an elastic collision. After the collision, the first puck has has a speed less than before, and a path at an angle below the positive x axis (in the fourth quadrant). The stone originally at rest is now moving in what direction? O straight in the positive x direction O at an angle above the positive x axis (first quadrant)...
A train is moving at a speed of 0.6c along the positive x-direction (don't worry about the unrealistic numerical values). A taxi is chasing the train at a speed of 0.4c along the positive x-direction. Both speeds are measured relative to the train station, which is at rest. (a) Use the velocity transformation formula to find the speed of the taxi, as measured by a passenger on the train. (1) Use the velocity transformation formula to find the speed of...
