<u>Answer</u>

= 16 m/s


<u>Explanation</u>

The law conservation of energy states that, momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

momentum before collision = (0.40 × v) + (0.40 × 0)

= 0.4v Km/s

momentum after collision = (0.40+0.40) × 8.0

= 0.8 ×8.0

= 6.4 Km/s

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

0.4v Km/s = 6.4 Km/s

v = 6.4/0.4

= 16 m/s

This problem can be solved through the Inelastic Collision Formula:
mass1 x in.velocity1 + mass2 x in.velocity2 = mass1+mass2 (final velocity)

Substituting the values, we have:
0.40 kg x in.velocity1 + 0.40 kg x 0 m/s = 0.80 kg (8.0m/s)

Solving for the unknown initial velocity of the moving hockey puck we have:
in.velocity1 = (6.4 kgm/s - 0) / 0.40 kg
= 16 m/s

Which equation best expresses the first law of thermodynamics, assuming Q is heat, U is internal energy, and W is work?
devlian [24]

The first law of thermodynamics is expresses by

D. ΔU=Q-W

which means change in internal energy of system = Heat added to system minus work done by the system

All are expressed in Joules.

This law is based on principle of conservation of energy.
