Question:
A hydrogen atom (m = 1.674 × 10?27 kg) is moving with
a velocity of 1.1250 × 107 m/s. It collides elastically with
a helium atom (m = 6.646 × 10?27 kg) at rest. After the
collision, the hydrogen atom is found to be moving with
a velocity of ?6.724 × 106 m/s (in a direction opposite to
its original motion). Find the velocity of the helium atom
after the collision in two different ways: (a) by applying
conservation of momentum; (b) by applying conservation of energy.
