Two hockey pucks, labeled A and B, are initially at rest on asmooth ice surface and are separated by a distance of18.0 m. Simult

aneously, each puck is given a quickpush and they begin to slide directly toward each other. Puck Amoves with a speed of v_A = 3.50 m/s, and puck B moves with a speed ofv_B = 3.90 m/s.
What is the distance that puck A covers prior to the collision?

Answer:

8.505 m

Explanation:

Let V1 and V2 be velocities of puck A and B respectively

Since A and B move in the same direction, so the relative velocity will be V1+V2=3.5+3.9=7.4m/s

Or

Vr=7.4 m/s

Distance=S= 18 m

Time =t=?

S=Vr×t

==> t=S/Vr

==> t= 18/7.4=2.43 sec

At this time both will strike together

<em><u>Distance by puck A</u></em>

<em>V1=3.5 m/s</em>

Time=t= 2.43 sec

Distance covered=d=?

d=V1×t=3.5×2.43=8.505 m

So, puck A will cover 8.505 meters before collision

Is a neutron star also a black hole?
coldgirl [10]

No.  A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup.  But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.

A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that.  No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero.  It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.

Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it.  You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth.  But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth.  What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean.  Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds. 
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole.  That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass.   THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?

I know.  It all seems too fantastic to be true. 
It sure does.

How are a wave's energy and the wave's amplitude related?
dem82 [27]
Answer:
Energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude

Explanation:
The energy of a certain wave is defined using its magnitude.
The two quantities are related directly. This means that as the amplitude of the wave increases, its energy increases and vice versa.

Energy is directly proportional to the square of the magnitude of the wave. This means that:
If we have new amplitude = 2 * old amplitude
We will have new energy = (2)² * old energy = 4 * old energy

Hope this helps :)

What are the 3 units we use to measure the universe??
ioda
If you mean what types of measurements are used to measure in outer space, I believe it’s light-year, astronomical unit and intergalactic measurements, but I’m not completely sure.

Hopefully this helps...
