Chapter 5, Problem 96P
A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong force. That force, which “glues” the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an initial speed of 1.4 × 107 m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with diameter d = 1.0 × 10−14 m. Assuming the strong force on the neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron’s mass is 1.67 × 10−27 kg.

A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong
force. That force, which "glues" the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an
initial speed of 1.9 × 107 m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with diameter d = 1.3 × 10-¹4 m. Assuming that the strong force on the
neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron's mass is 1.67 × 10-27 kg.

There are two radioactive elements, elements A and B. Element A decays into element B with a decay constant of 8/yr, and element B decays
into the nonradioactive isotope of element C with a decay constant of 2/yr. An initial mass of 4 kg of element A is put into a nonradioactive
container, with no other source of elements A, B, and C. How much of each of the three elements is in the container after t yr? (The decay
constant is the constant of proportionality in the statement that the rate of loss of mass of the element at any time is proportional to the mass of
the element at that time.)
Write the equation for the mass, m(t), for each element based on time.

- A satellite is floating in space. Solar wind sweeping past the satellite consists of a stream of particles, mainly hydrogen ions of mass 1.7×10−27 kg. There are about 0.5×105 ions per cubic meter, and their speed is 8.0×105 m/s. An `umbrella' attached to the satellite is slowly opened, such that the radius of the circular cross-section of the umbrella is changing with time as r(t)=bt2, where b=0.1 m/s2 is a constant (see the figure which shows the side and front views). What is the maximum change of momentum of the satellite due to the solar wind hitting this umbrella after a time of 10 seconds? Explain carefully why this is the maximum possible change.

In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ? = 2.67 × 106 g/m3 and volume V =1.71 × 1012 m3.

The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole. Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x7 to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat?

- In a dark matter direct detection experiment, a dark matter particle is supposed to directly interact with the atoms in the detector, causing either a nucleus or an electron to recoil after the collision has occurred. The dark matter particles in our galaxy should be moving at non-relativistic speeds, so this scattering process can be described using the conservation of momentum governed by Newton's laws without the need for quantum mechanics. One of the most common target materials for these experiments is xenon. Your goal is to answer the following question. Assuming there is a dark matter particle with incident velocity v1 that will scatter from a Xe-136 nucleus (with a mass of 136 amu) that was initially at rest as shown below. What is the dark matter mass? You should solve for the answer symbolically first. Then you will substitute in the values shown below to get out an actual numerical value for the mass, in amu.

P falls through the air into the liquid. Assume there is no air resistance and there is no instantaneous change in speed of P as it enters the liquid. When P is at a distance of d = 0.71 m below the surface of the liquid, P's speed is v = 4.9 m/s. The only force acting on P due to the liquid is a constant resistance to motion of magnitude R N. Find the following: v1: The speed (in m/s) of P the moment just before it strikes the surface of the fluid.a1: The magnitude of the deceleration (in m/s2) of P while it is falling through the liquid.R: The magnitude of the resistance force (in N). The depth of the liquid in the container is dp = 3.9 m. P is taken from the container and attached to one end of a light inextensible string.

While traveling faster than sound at 4000 m altitude, he shot a burst of rounds.Then, after allowing the cannons to cool, he shot another burst at 2000 m; his speed was then 344 m/s, the speed of the rounds relative to him was 730 m/s, and he was still in a dive. Almost immediately the canopy around him was shredded and his right air intake was damaged.With little flying capability left, the jet crashed into a wooded area, but Attridge managed to escape the resulting explosion. Explain what apparently happened just after the second burst of cannon rounds. (Attridge has been the only pilot who has managed to shoot himself down.)arrow_forward
