Answer:

The final speed of puck 1 is 0.739 m/s towards west  and puck 2 is 2.02 m/s towards east .

Explanation:

Let us consider east as positive direction and west as negative direction .

Given

mass of puck 1 , m_1= 0.473 kg

mass of puck 2 , m_2= 0.819 kg

initial speed of puck 1 , u_1=2.76\frac{m}{s}

initial speed of puck 2 , u_2=0.00\frac{m}{s}

Final speed of puck 1 and puck 2 be v_1\, and\, v_2  respectively

Apply conservation of linear momentum

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

=>0.473\times 2.76+0.0=0.473\times v_1+0.819\times v_2

=>1.594=0.5775\times v_1+ v_2 -----(A)

Since collision is perfectly elastic , coefficient restitution e=1

u_2-u_1=v_1-v_2

=>0-2.76=v_1-v_2 ------(B)

From equation (A) and (B)

v_1=-0.739\frac{m}{s}

and v_2=2.02\frac{m}{s}

Thus the final speed of puck 1 is 0.739 m/s towards west  and puck 2 is 2.02 m/s towards east .

Yes, all of the above are defined whenever they occur and denote multivariable functions and vector fields which are twice continuously differentiable on a common domain.

What is vector field?
A vector field is the assignment of the a vector to each point inside a subset of space in the fields of vector calculus and physics. For example, a vector field inside the plane could be visualised as a group of arrows, each attached to the a point in the plane and each with a specific magnitude and direction. Vector fields are frequently used to simulate various physical phenomena, such as the strength and motion of a force as it shifts through one point to the next or the speed and trajectory of a fluid moving through space.

The first expression, V . (F . Vf), denotes a multivariable function which is the dot product of a vector V and the composition of a function F with a vector field Vf.

The second expression, V . (V x Vf), denotes a multivariable function which is the dot product of a vector V and the cross product of a vector V and a vector field Vf.

The third expression, V x (V . F), denotes a vector field which is the cross product of a vector V and the dot product of a vector V and a function F.

The fourth expression, V x (V x f), denotes a vector field which is the cross product of a vector V and the cross product of a vector V and a function f.

The fifth expression, V x (V x F), denotes a vector field which is the cross product of a vector V and the cross product of a vector V and a function F.

The sixth expression, V . (V x F), denotes a multivariable function which is the dot product of a vector V and the cross product of a vector V and a function F.

Why do you think there are so many more autotrophs than consumers on Earth?<br> Helppp
goldfiish [28.3K]

There are many Autotrophs than consumers because : Autotrophs are the bases of any food chain/web

<h3>Function of Autotrophs </h3>

Autotrophs capture the energy required for every food chain or web from which sustains other organisms in the food chain form sunlight and chemicals. Also there is always more biomass present in the lower levels of the trophic system as biomass decreases as we move up the food chain.

Since autotrophs are producers, for a healthy food chain there would be more autotrophs than consumers.

Hence we can conclude that There are many Autotrophs than consumers because : Autotrophs are the bases of any food chain/web
