Suppose that a particle at rest with mass m decays into a photon and another particle with mass m/2 , which recoilds in a direction opposite to the photon. Using the conservation of energy and momentum find the momentum of the recoiling particle

The place you get your hair cut has two nearly parallel mirrors 6.00 m apart. as you sit in the chair, your head is 2.00 m from the nearer mirror. looking toward this mirror, you first see your face and then, farther away, the back of your head. (the mirrors need to be slightly nonparallel for you to be able to see the back of your head, but you can treat them as parallel in this problem.) how far away does the back of your head appear to be?

The system is released from rest with the cable taut, and the homogeneous cylinder does not slip on the rough incline. determine the angular acceleration of the cylinder and the minimum coeffi cient s of friction for which the cylinder will not slip.

Two objects of different mass start from rest, are pulled by the same magnitude net force, and are moved through the same distance. the work done on object 1 is 900 j. after the force has pulled each object, object 1 moves twice as fast as object 2. how much work is done on object 2?
