On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.254 kg ) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.367 kg ), which is ini

tially at rest. After the collision, puck A has velocity 0.123 m/s to the left, and puck B has velocity 0.651 m/s to the right.
What was the speed vAi of puck A before the collision?

Calculate ΔK, the change in the total kinetic energy of the system that occurs during the collision.

Answer:

v_a=0.8176 m/s

\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

Being m_a and m_b the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is

M_1=m_av_a+m_bv_b

Since b is initially at rest

M_1=m_av_a

After the collision and being v'_a and v'_b the respective velocities, the total momentum is

M_2=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b

Both momentums are equal, thus

m_av_a=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b

Solving for v_a

v_a=\frac{m_av'_a+m_bv'_b}{m_a}

v_a=\frac{0.254Kg\times (-0.123 m/s)+0.367Kg (0.651m/s)}{0.254Kg}

v_a=0.8176 m/s

The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)

K_1=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2

K_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.254Kg) (0.8176m/s)^2=0.0849 J

The final kinetic energy is

K_2=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a'^2+\frac{1}{2}m_bv_b'^2

K_2=\frac{1}{2}0.254Kg (-0.123m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}0.367Kg (0.651m/s)^2=0.07969 J

The change of kinetic energy is

\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J

Answer

Procedural bias occurs when the unfair amount of pressure is applied to complete their response quickly.

Measurement bias occurs when there is systematic or random error occur while taking the reading.

Design bias occur when the research fails to encounter all the aspects of the projects before presenting conclusion.

1) The correct answer is option B.

  Balance is miscalibrated hence there will be systematic error which is a type of measurement bias.

2)  The correct answer is option A.

    Limiting response time for participant is an example of Procedural bias.

3) The correct answer is option A

    Here, Jackie has not surveyed the diverse group so it is the case of design bias

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

KE = 2.535 x 10⁷ Joules

Explanation:

given,

angular speed of the fly wheel = 940 rad/s

mass of the cylinder = 630 Kg

radius = 1.35 m

KE of flywheel = ?

moment of inertia of the cylinder

I = \dfrac{1}{2}mr^2

 =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 630\times 1.35^2

 = 574 kg m²

kinetic energy of the fly wheel

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

KE =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 574\times 940^2

KE = 2.535 x 10⁷ Joules

the kinetic energy of the flywheel is equal to KE = 2.535 x 10⁷ Joules

How are eras and periods of the geologic time scale named?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

mark me brainliest plz

Explanation:

In the early 1800's a system for naming geologic time periods was devised using four periods of geologic time. They were named using Latin root words, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary. ... Keep in mind that this chart is focused on geologic time periods. There are also geologic Eons, Eras, and epochs.
