Aprojectle pioton with a speed of 500 11/s collides elastucally with a target proton which is itially at rest the projectile and target protons then move along pet pendicular paths, with the projectile path at 60° from the original direction after the collision, what are the speeds of turn over phy1505 oct/nov 2017 a) the target proton and (8) b) the projectile proton

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
