Sphere A (mass m), moving with speed 3v, collides with sphere B (mass 2m) which is moving in the opposite direction with speed v. The two spheres then combine, calculate the resulting velocity of the combined spheres.

Sphere A has mass m and velocity +3v so its initial momentum is 3mv. Sphere B has mass 2m and velocity -v so its initial momentum is -2mv. Therefore we can say:3mv - 2mv = M c v c , where M c and v c are the...

Why is it important that the baryon and lepton numbers of an interaction are conserved?

Conservation Laws are useful because they establish fixed rules that physical interactions must follow, which helps physicists to better understand these processes. In particular, they provide a picture of w...

How do you find the gradient of a linear line just by looking at the graph?

When finding the gradient of a line we need to first locate any two points, on the line, where we know the x-coordinates and we know the y-coordinates. Now, with these two coordinates we need to find two val...

Can you state and explain the chemistry behind Markovnikov's rule?

Markovnikov's rule states that, during electrophilic addition to alkenes/alkynes, the hydrogen atom in the electrophile will be added to the carbon atom in the alkene/alkyne that is bonded to he most hydroge...
