The final velocity of the two pucks is -5 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, in absence of external force, the total momentum of the two pucks before and after the collision must be conserved - so we can write:

m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 +m_2)v

where

m_1 = m_2 = m = 10 kg is the mass of each puck

u_1 = 10 m/s is the initial velocity of the 1st puck

u_2 = -20 m/s is the initial velocity of the 2nd puck

v is the final velocity of the two pucks sticking together

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

mu_1 + mu_2 = (m+m)v\\u_1 + u_2 = 2v\\v=\frac{u_1+u_2}{2}=\frac{10-20}{2}=-5 m/s

What is the forms of energy given below.
Damm [24]

Answer:

Lightening of the table lamp

Explanation:

Energy has a different form of energy. In physics, the capacity of the form of energy is work. The energy can exist in the form of thermal, potential, kinetic, chemical and electrical, and nuclear. There are other forms of energy such as work and heat.

The energy is designated according to the nature of the objects. So that when heat transferred it has been changed into thermal. All the forms of energy are related to the motion of an object. Energy can neither destroyed or created.

Heat transfer between two substances is affected by specific heat and the
IgorLugansk [536]

The correct answer is D. Amount of time and area of physical contact between the substances.

Explanation:

Heat transfer refers to the flow of thermal energy or heat between two or more objects. This process involves multiple factors and implies heat from the hottest object goes to the coldest one until there is an equilibrium. To begin, heat transfer depends on the amount of thermal energy in the objects because objects must have a different amount of thermal energy for heat to flow.

Besides this, the amount of energy that flows depends on the time and the contact between the substances of objects. Indeed, objects need to be in contact or close to each other for heat to transfer, and the time needs to be enough for the process to occur. For example, if you place a pot over the fire just for a few seconds it is likely the heat transferred is minimal, which does not occur if you leave the pot more time. At the same time if the pot is in close contact with fire more heat will be transferred.-

If an object went from 0 m/s to 6 m/s in 1.7 seconds after a 10 N force was applied to it; what is the object's mass? No links p
Mashcka [7]

The force acting on the object is constant, so the acceleration of the object is also constant. By definition of average acceleration, this acceleration was

<em>a</em> = ∆<em>v</em> / ∆<em>t</em> = (6 m/s - 0) / (1.7 s) ≈ 3.52941 m/s²

By Newton's second law, the magnitude of the force <em>F</em> is proportional to the acceleration <em>a</em> according to

<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>

where <em>m</em> is the object's mass. Solving for <em>m</em> gives

<em>m</em> = <em>F</em> / <em>a</em> = (10 N) / (3.52941 m/s²) ≈ 2.8 kg

A force of 3,200 kg x m/s^2 (Newton’s) acts on a truck giving it an acceleration of 2 m/s^2. What is the mass of the truck ?
Ivan

Answer:

According to newton's second law of motionF=ma Data:-F=3200kgm/sec² or N ,a=2m/sec² ,m=? solution :-F=ma here we have to find m so m=F/a ,m=3200/2=1600kg
