An atom of beryllium (m 8.00 u) splits into two atoms of helium (m 4.00 u) with the release of 92.2 kev of energy. suppose the beryllium atom moved in the positive x direction and had a kinetic energy of 40.1 kev. one of the helium atoms is found to be moving in the positive x direction. find the direction of motion of the second helium, and find the velocity of each of the two helium atoms. solve this problem in two different ways: by direct application of conservation of momentum and energy; and by applying the results if the original berylium atom is at rest to a frame of reference moving with the original beryum atom and then switching to the reference frame in which the beryllium is moving. (a) by direct application of conservation of momentum and energy velocity of the first helium (magnitude) 2.48 106 m/s velocity of the second helium (magnitude) -0.498 106 m/s direction of motion of the second helium the positive x direction (b) by applying the results if the original beryllium atom is at rest to a frame of reference moving with the original beryllium atom and then switching to the reference frame in which the beryllium is moving velocity of the first helium (magnitude)2.48 1016m/s velocity of the second helium (magnitude) -0.498*1046 m/s direction of motion of the second helium the positive x direction

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. a brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. a laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. in order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0 km in diameter. staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser. part a if λ = 540nm , what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)
