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 .

What do you think happens to kinetic energy with potential energy being increased?
swat32

Answer:

If the kinetic energy increases, the potential energy decreases, and vice-versa.

Explanation:

The amount of change in kinetic energy is equal to the amount of change in potential energy.

The absolute temperature of a gas is t. in order to double the rms speed of its molecules, what should be the new absloute tempe
jenyasd209 [6]

The new absloute temperature should be 4t.

<h3>Temperature </h3>

The hotness of matter or radiation is expressed by the physical quantity known as temperature.

There are three different types of temperature scales: those, like the SI scale, that are defined in terms of the average translational kinetic energy per freely moving microscopic particle, like an atom, molecule, or electron in a body; those that solely depend on strictly macroscopic properties and thermodynamic principles, like Kelvin's original definition; and those that are not defined by theoretical principles but rather by useful empirical properties of particula.

Using a thermometer, one can gauge temperature. It is calibrated using different temperature scales, each of which historically defined itself using a different set of reference points and thermometric materials.

Based on the graph of velocity over time, which could be the initial velocity and the final velocity for this graph?
dolphi86 [110]
The graph is showing a constant velocity as the line is horizontal. The initial speed is equal to the final speed as there is no changing in acceleration. The second statement is the correct statement

Initial = 2.5 m/s
Final = 2.5 m/s
