Answer:

Linear momentum

Explanation:

The most likely conservation candidate is the linear momentum. The law of momentum conservation states that the sum of momenta before and after an (elastic or inelastic) collision will remain constant.

The kinetic energy is another possible, but less likely suspect. It is conserved in elastic collisions (i.e., those with no kinetic energy loss), but we are not told this collision is assumed elastic. In fact the real setup would be nowhere close to an elastic collision, as the stick lies on ice, which hasn't be zambonied for an entire period of rough skating, there's rough surface and the stick's shaft is also slightly stuck to the surface through frost. So when the puck hits the stick, a portion of its kinetic energy is spent to unstick the stick and get it moving. And so, kinetic energy is not conserved.

Angular momentum is not applicable with the puck-stick scenario.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Plankton refers to the small and microscopic organisms drifting or floating in the sea or fresh water, consisting chiefly of diatoms, protozoans, small crustaceans, and the eggs and larval stages of larger animals(Oxford dictionary).

The spring bloom is a sudden growth or increase in plankton abundance. It begins around the early spring and continues until late in the spring or sometimes even early in the summer.

One organism that is a consumer of plankton are the snails. One of the commonest snails that eat plankton are the Nerite Snails.

(a) What is the best coefficient of performance for a refrigerator that cools an environment at −30.0ºC and has heat transfer to

kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) 3.242

b) 1291.178 KJ

c) 3.59 cents

Explanation:

a) First all the temperature units should be in Kelvin. -30°C + 273.15 = 243.15K and 45°C + 273.15 = 318.15K. Coefficient of performance for refrigerator is COP = TL/(TH-TL) where TL is Lower Temperature and TH is the Higher Temperature. COP = 243.15/(318.15-243.15) = 3.242

b) COP = Cooling Effect/Work Input. Cooling Effect (or Desired Output) is 4186 kJ.

So Work Input = Cooling Effect/COP = 4186KJ/3.242= 1291.178 KJ

c) 3.6 MJ (3600kJ) is for 10 cents, using ratio for cost: energy used

$\frac{10}{3600 kJ} =\frac{x}{1291.178kJ}$

3.59 cents
