A hockey puck of mass m traveling along the x axis at 4.5 m/s hits another identical hockey puck at rest. If after the collision

the second puck travels at a speed of 3.5 m/s at an angle of 30° above the x axis, is this an elastic collision?
A) Yes, since momentum is conserved.
B) No, since momentum is not conserved.
C) Yes, since kinetic energy is conserved.
D) No, since kinetic energy is not conserved.
E) Not enough information.

Answer:

D) No, since kinetic energy is not conserved.

Explanation:

Since momentum is always conserved in all collision

so in Y direction we can say

0 = m(3.5 sin30) - mv_y

v_y = 1.75 m/s

Now similarly in X direction we will have

m(4.5) = m(3.5 cos30 ) + mv_x

v_x = 1.47 m/s

now final kinetic energy of both puck after collision is given as

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}m(3.5^2) + \frac{1}{2}m(1.75^2 + 1.47^2)

KE_f = 8.73 m

initial kinetic energy of both pucks is given as

KE_i = \frac{1}{2}m(4.5^2) + 0

KE_i = 10.125 m

since KE is decreased here so it must be inelastic collision

D) No, since kinetic energy is not conserved.

All valid equations in physics have consistent units. Are all equations that have consistent units valid?
sweet [91]

Answer:

c. No. An equation may have consistent units but still be numerically invaid.

Explanation:

For an equation to be corrected, it should have consistent units and also be numerically correct.

Most equation are of the form;

(Actual quantity) = (dimensionless constant) × (dimensionally correct quantity)

From the above, without the dimensionless constant the equation would be numerically wrong.

For example; Kinetic energy equation.

KE = 0.5(mv^2)

Without the dimensionless constant '0.5' the equation would be dimensionally correct but numerically wrong.

The formula for average speed is
Ket [755]

Answer:

Explanation:

The most common formula for average speed is distance traveled divided by time taken. The other formula, if you have the initial and final speed, add the two together, and divide by 2

According to universal gravitation, both mass and air resistance affect the gravitational attraction between objects
Ksju [112]
Air resistance doesn't appear in the formula for gravitational force, because it doesn't affect it. Mass does because it does.
