From the general expression for the total kinetic energy before the collision, I tried to derive m2, but I couldn't: Ec = 1/2 m1 v1^2 + 1/2 m2 v2^2 I can't extrapolate m2

A body of mass m1 = 2 kg with a velocity v1 = 12 m/s collides elastically with a second body initially at rest. The first body continues to move in the same direction as the initial one but with a velocity equal to one-quarter of its initial velocity. Find the mass of the second body in kg. Thanks

The inner part of the core, about 0.4 to 0.6 M⊙, is in sonic contact and collapses homologously, while the outer core collapses supersonically. Hi Could you explain the meaning of this sentence to me as simply as possible?

Sorry, but Einstein was an engineer—how did he know all that math? Was he self-taught? In fact, he did work with a mathematician. So, did he theorize the imaginary part? Apologies to Einstein if I'm mistaken.

Is the binding energy per nucleon clearly equal to the energy required to extract a nucleon?

The collapse of the critical-mass iron core accelerates rapidly. This runaway is driven principally by photodissociation of iron-peak nuclei, Fe(γ, α), and by electron captures What does "iron peak" mean?

Hi everyone, Is it possible to explain in simple terms why the Chandrasekhar mass is generally a function of electron fraction and core entropy ?

Hello What does hydrostatic burning mean in relation to supernova nucleosynthesis ?

I think momentum

I have tried various ways but I can't get a correct result

Here is the link: https://www.physics.rutgers.edu/analyze/wiki/cc_supernovae.html I noticed you used the term electron gas. Doing an internet search, I summarized it like this: Electron gas refers to a theoretical model in which electrons are considered as a gas of free or interacting particles...

I read mass nears the Chandrasekhar mass limit (), the atoms become relativistic What does it mean that atoms become "relativistic"? That the motion due to thermal energy causes atoms to have speeds close to that of light; clearly, they cannot match that of light. What are the consequences of...

Hi. I'm not a student, I'm an Italian astronomy enthusiast, and an older one at that. I enjoy disseminating knowledge, but obviously keeping in mind my skills.
