A proton and an alpha particle are momentarily at rest at a distance r from each other. They then begin to move apart. Find the speed of the proton by the time the distance between the proton and the alpha particle doubles. Both particles are positively charged. The charge and the mass of the proton are, respectively, e andm. The charge and the mass of the alpha particle are, respectively, 2e and 4m. A- Find the speed of the proton...

Consider a spacecraft that is far away from planets or other massive objects. The mass of the spacecraft is M = 1.5×105 kg. The rocket engines are shut off and the spacecraft coasts with a velocity vector v = (0, 20, 0) km/s. The space craft passes the position x = (12, 15, 0) km at which time the spacecraft fires its thruster rockets giving it a net force of F = (6 × 104 , 0, 0) N which...

An electron and a positron are located 17 m away from each other and held fixed...

An electron and a positron are located 17 m away from each other and held fixed by some mechanism. The positron has the same mass and the same magnitude of charge as those of the electron, but its charge is positive. The electron and the positron are released at the same time by the mechanism. The electron and the positron begin to speed up towards each other. What velocities should they have when they are 1.3 m away from each...

A sound source A and a reflecting surface B move directly toward each other. Relative to the air, the speed of source A is 29.7 m/s, the speed of surface B is 63.5 m/s, and the speed of sound is 330 m/s. The source emits waves at frequency 1350 Hz as measured in the source frame. In the reflector frame, what are (a) the frequency and (b) the wavelength of the arriving sound waves? In the source frame, what are...

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of putty that move directly toward each other...

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axis. Just before the collision, one ball of mass m1 is moving upward at speed v1 and the other ball of mass m2 is moving downward at speed v2. In the following, if there is gravity it has acceleration g. (a) Suppose the collision happens very fast. What is the velocity of the putty immediately after the collision? (b) Suppose the...
