One form of nuclear radiation, beta decay, occurs when a neutron changes into a proton, an electron and a neutral particle called a neutrino. When this change happens to a neutron within the nucleus of an atom, the proton remains behind in the nucleus while the electron and neutrino are ejected from the nucleus. The ejected electron is called a beta particle. One nucleus that exhibits beta decay is the isotope of hydrogen 3H, called tritium, whose nucleus consists of one proton (making it hydrogen) and two neutrons (giving tritium an atomic mass m = 3u). Tritium is radioactive, and it decays to helium.

Suppose an electron is ejected from a 3H atom, which has a radius of 1.000×10-14 m. The resulting 3He atom has the same radius as the 3H atom. What is the escape velocity of the electron ejected from the process?

Note: Your answer may be larger than the speed of light which is okay in this scenario.

A ball of mass, m is thrown straight up and rises h after leaving your hand, it momentarily stops. Acceleration due to gravity g is downward. Ignore air resistance.

Part A (5 points): If the ball is the system, and the Earth is the surroundings, what is the change in potential energy, ΔUsys of the system, and what is the work done, Wsurr by the surroundings ?

Δ Usys = 0; Wsurr = -mgh

Δ Usys = mgh; Wsurr = -mgh

Δ Usys = mgh; Wsurr = 0

Δ Usys = 0; Wsurr = 0

Δ Usys = -mgh; Wsurr = 0

Part B: If the ball + Earth is the system, and nothing is in the surroundings, what is the change in potential energy, ΔUsys of the system, and what is the work done, Wsurr by the surroundings ?

Δ Usys = 0; Wsurr = 0

Δ Usys = mgh; Wsurr = -mgh

Δ Usys = mgh; Wsurr = 0

Δ Usys = 0; Wsurr = -mgh

Δ Usys = -mgh; Wsurr = 0

Two asteroids collide in space. The collision is not completely inelastic--the asteroids pull apart and continue on their way. Their masses are 8.7 X 108 kg for Asteroid A and 3.4 X 108 kg for Asteroid B. Treat Asteroid A as being initially at rest. Asteroid B, moving at high speed, strikes Asteroid A and moves from the collision at a speed of 7300 m/s in a direction 48 degrees from its original path. Meanwhile, Asteroid A moves away from the collision at a spee of 4400 m/s at an angle of 27 degrees from the original path of Asteroid B, but in the opposite direction, of course. Assume no significant amount of mass is lost in the collision (a definite oversimplification).

a) Find the initial momentum, and from it the original speed, of Asteroid B before the collision.

b) How much kinetic energy was lost in the collision?

You sometimes create a spark when you touch a doorknob after shuffling your feet on a carpet. Why? The air always has a few free electrons that have been kicked out of atoms by cosmic rays. If an electric field is present, a free electron is accelerated until it collides with an air molecule. It will transfer its kinetic energy to the molecule, then accelerate, then collide, then accelerate, collide, and so on. If the electron
