A carbon atom with a mass 12u and velocity 6500000 m/s ( x-axis)collides head on with 16u oxygen atom at rest and causes an elastic collision. Determine the final velocity of each atom after collision. ( 1u = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg )

Solutions

Expert Solution

After the collision, the carbon atom rebounds back in opposite direction(negative X-direction) and the oxygen atom moves in the direction in which initially the carbon atom was travelling.
