Agh... so I posted a similar question like this yesterday and someone has been so kind enough to help me out, but now I'm stuck on this problem!
In the experimental discovery of the neutron (the electrically neutral "brother" of the proton ) the ratio of the velocity of the recoiling (struck)...
hey... yea, i got that equation too... but I'm still unsure of how i will be able to find the velocity by just knowing the "ratio" of the incident mass over target mass. :confused: sigh*
Okay, so my homework question is:
5) An object makes an elastic head-on collision with another "target" object which is initially at rest. If the ratio of incident mass over target mass is 0.5333, what is the velocity of the incident object after the collision in multiples of its incident...
