Two atoms collide while moving in a gas. The larger atom has a mass M = 6 Daltons and a speed v = 224 m/s, while the smaller has a mass M = 1 Daltons (D). During the collision both atoms simply bounce off each other. They do not change their speeds, but after the collision they each reverse their directions, bouncing straight back. (You may express your results using the mass unit "Daltons". 1 Dalton is approximately equal to the mass of a proton or neutron and is defined as one-twelfth the mass of a single neutral carbon-12 atom in its ground state.) M M /2 A. What is the magnitude of the change in the momentum, Ap, of mass M? X D m/s B. If the collision took place over a time interval of 6 ns, what is the average acceleration experienced by the atom M? (Note: 1 ns = 1 x 109 s. You can enter your answer in scientific notation.using e, like 1.2e3 for 1200.) X m/s/s Enter a number. Two atoms collide while moving in a gas.
