Honors Sect 2 ( Period 6) assignment

Complete the calculation of change in KE for the example from class. This problem is outlined below.

Tritium ( M = 3 mp) came into collision with vx = 1,000,000 m/s vy =0. Deuterium ( M = 2mp) was at rest initially. After collision Deuterium has velocity' of 500,000 m/s at 30 deg above x axis and Tritium had vx'= 711,000 m/s and vy' of 167,000 m/s. Find out the change in total KE from before to after collision.
