elastic collision: a neutron of mass 1.00 u traveling with velocity 6.50 x 105 ms-1 collides head on with a stationary carbon atom of mass 12.00 u. The carbon atom moves off in the same direction with velocity 1.00 x 105 ms-1. Calculate the velocity of the neutron after the collision. State what happens to the kinetic energy as a result of this collision.??????????????????

what are the effects of increasing slit width keeping slit separation constant ?( in double slit experiment) apart from greater brightness of Bright fringes?

One reaction produces 13.8MeV of energy.
13.8MeV = 13.8 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 10^6 = 2.208 x 10^-12 J
So one reaction makes that much energy.
We want 60J per second. (60W)
So number of reactions required per second = 60J / 2.208 x 10^-12 J = 2.7 × 1013
Got it. Thanks. :)

About rounding up in AS physics paper 2....

There are a lot of calculation questions in physics, right? Also, there are many parts in each questions, and some of them are continuous, so we have to use the answer of the previous answer. For that case, the result is sometimes different from the marking scheme due to rounding up from the previous part, right? Thus, would they recognize it and mark it as right even if it's different from the marking scheme? I really want to know it because those kind of things look random in mark scheme for me, they sometimes use rounded up answer and sometimes they don't.

is it true that fewer fringes will be observed?
No. When you increase the width of the slit, you are increasing the intensity of the light. So the results will be that the bright fringes are brighter, no change to the dark fringe and no change to fringe separation. If there are lesser bright fringes then the fringe separation would change.

In absence of air, time to reach max height = time to reach ground, right?
In presence of air, time to reach max height > time to reach ground?

Inelastic collision: a piece of plasticine of mass 0.20 kg falls to the ground and hits the ground with a velocity of 8.0 ms-1 vertically downward. It does not bounce but sticks to the ground.
1- Calculate the momentum of the plasticine just before it hits the ground.
2-State the transfers of momentum and of kinetic energy of the plasticine which occur as a result of the collision.
...WHATS THE ANS OF PART 2 ..........HELP PLZ.....WID FULL EXPLANATION!!!!

Because g is the ratio of force to mass, and g can be defined by the acceleration due to gravity too.
can u ans these 2 ques plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz?
