You are at the controls of a particle accelerator, sending a beam of 4.20×107 m/s protons (mass m) at a gas target of an unknown element. Your detector tells you that some protons bounce straight back after a collision with one of the nuclei of the unknown element. All such protons rebound with a speed of 3.90×107 m/s . Assume that the initial speed of the target nucleus is negligible and the collision is elastic.
A. Find the mass of one nucleus of the unknown element. Express your answer in terms of the proton mass m .
B. What is the speed of the unknown nucleus immediately after such a collision?

You are at the controls of a particle accelerator, sending beam of 3.90 x 10^7 m/s protons (mass m) at a gas target of an unknown element. Your detector tells you that some protons bounce straight back after a collision with one of the nuclei of the unknown element. All such protons rebound with a speed of 3.60 x 10^7 m/s. Assume that the initial speed of the target nucleus is negligible and that the collision is elastic. (a) Find...
1. /10 A proton (atomie mass = 1.0 u) with a speed of 500 m/s collides with another target) proton at rest. The original proton is scattered 60° from its initial direction while the target proton is scattered -30° from that direction. (a) What are the speeds of both protons after the collision? (b) Is the collision elastic? (Note: An elastic collision means that the total kinetic energy of the system is the same before and after the collision.)
To complete your master's degree in physics, your advisor has you design a small, linear accelerator capable of emitting protons, each with a kinetic energy of 9.7 keV. (The mass of a single proton is 1.67 x 10 kg.) In addition, 1.00 x 109 protons per second must reach the target at the end of the 1.40-m-long accelerator. (a) What the average power must be delivered to the stream of protons? (b) What force (assumed constant) must be applied to...

A projectile proton with a speed of 1100 m/s collides elastically with a target proton initially at rest. The two protons then move along perpendicular paths, with the projectile path at 78° from the original direction. After the collision, what are the speeds of (a) the target proton and (b) the projectile proton?
A projectile proton with a speed of 1000 m/s collides elastically with a target proton initially at rest. The two protons then move along perpendicu lar paths, with the projectile path at 47° from the original direction. After the collision, what are the speeds of (a) the target proton and (b) the projectile proton? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
10) A proton moving at 2.44x105 m/s elastically collides with a
helium nucleus that is initially at rest. Assume that all of the
motion is in one dimension. Determine the speed and direction of
motion of each body after the collision.
Note: Mass of a hydrogen nucleus is approximately 1.0 u Mass of a
helium nucleus is approximately 4.0 u

In the early part of the 20th century, Sir Joseph J. Thomson (discoverer of the electron) proposed a "plum pudding" model of the atom. He believed that the positive charge of the atom was spread out like a pudding and that the negative charges (electrons) were embedded in the pudding like plums. His student Ernest Rutherford performed an experiment in 1911 that disproved the plum pudding model. Rutherford fired a beam of alpha particles (helium nuclei) at a thin metal...
