Fig. 3.1
The mass of A is 3.2 kg. The mass of B is 1.6 kg.
After the collision, the velocity of A is 1.5 m/s.
Calculate
(i) the momentum of A before the collision,
momentum =
(ii) the velocity v of B after the collision
V=
(c) In the collision that occurred in (b), block A and block B are in contact for 0.050 s.
Calculate the average force that is exerted on B during the collision.
average force =
(d) After the collision in (b), the total kinetic energy of the two blocks is less than the kinetic
energy of block A before the collision
Suggest one reason for this.

Materials will have different energies associated with the electrons inside them. this is related to how strongly bound they are by their work function. if we sandwich a material with a very low energy between two materials with a high energy, we create a trap for an electron. if this trap is very narrow in one direction in comparison to the others, this is approximately a 1-dimensional box that confines the electron. what is the lowest energy of an electron in the box if the thinnest direction across the materials is 4.81 nm?
