A 0.450-kg hockey puck, moving east with a speed of 5.80 m/s, has a head-on collision with a 0.900-kg puck initially at rest. As

suming a perfectly elastic collision, what will be the speed and direction of each puck after the collision?

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of first puck, m1 = 0.450 kg

initial velocity of first puck, u1 = 5.80 m/s east

mass of second puck, m2 = 0.9 kg

initial velocity of second puck, u2 = 0

Let v1 and v2 are the final velocities of the pucks after collision.

Use conservation of momentum

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = m1 x v1 + m2 x v2

0.45 x 5.8 + 0.9 x 0 = 0.45 x v1 + 0.9 x v2

5.8 = v1 + 2 v2 ..... (1)

As the collision is perfectly elastic, the coefficient of restitution, e = 1

Use the formula for the coefficient of restitution

e=\frac{v_{1}-v_{2}}{u_{2}-u_{1}}

0 - 5.8 = v1 - v2

v2 - v1 = 5.8 .... (2)

Adding equation (1) and equation (2), we get

v2 = 1.93 m/s and then v1 = - 3.87 m/s

describes how the color and texture of a surface affect absorption and reflection of solar radiation?
Wewaii [24]

Most of the radiation, however, is absorbed by the earth's surface. ... Every surface on earth absorbs and reflects energy at varying degrees, based on its color and texture. Dark-colored objects absorb more visible radiation; light-colored objects reflect more visible radiation.

Which of the following helps to explain how hydraulic lifts work?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer : C. Pascal's principle.

Explaination : Pascal's principle (well-known as Pascal's law) states that if a closed container contains a fluid at rest, then a small change in pressure at one side of the fluid is transmitted to each and every part of the fluid and also to the walls of the container without any loss. In a hydraulic lift, we need the same mechanism to work and so we take the help of Pascal's principle.


Hence, the correct option is C. Pascal's principle.
