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

Dr Tony Allision hypothesize that the sickle cell disease is connected with malaria. The disease carried by the mosquito is more common in coastal area and near Lake Victoria while it is less common in the highlands. He made a further hypothesis that sickle cell disease is common in areas where malaria is also common.

Which two characteristics increase the strength of the gravitational force
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The answer is A and C.

Explanation:

Only two factors are relevant when dealing with the gravitational force between two objects - their mass and their distance apart from one another. Gravity's force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
