A hockey puck with a mass of 0.17 kg is traveling to the right along the ice at 15 m/s. it strikes a second hockey puck with a m

ass 0.11 kg. the first hockey puck comes to rest after the collision. What is the velocity of the second hockey puck after the collision? ( Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

Answer:

$v_2 = 23.182m/s$

Explanation:

Given

$m_1 = 0.17kg$

$m_2 = 0.11kg$

$u_1 = 15m/s$ -- Initial Velocity of the first

$u_2 = 0m/s$ -- Initial Velocity of the second

$v_1 = 0m/s$ -- Final Velocity of the first

Required

Determine the final velocity of the second hockey puck ( $v_2$ )

This question illustrates law of conservation of momentum and it'll be solved using the following formula:

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2$ ---- law of conservation of momentum

Substitute in the right values

$0.17 * 15 + 0.11*0 = 0.17 * 0 + 0.11*v_2$

$0.17 * 15 + 0 = 0 + 0.11*v_2$

$2.55 = 0.11*v_2$

Solve for v2

$v_2 = 2.55/0.11$

$v_2 = 23.182m/s$

<em>Hence, the final velocity of the second hockey puck is 23.182m/s</em>

What is the speed of light in a vacuume?

-Dominant- [34]

The speed of light in vacuum is exactly

299,792,458 meters per second.

That's so exact that it's the official scientific definition of a "meter".

The number doesn't t change even if the flashlight or other light source is moving.

A typical running track is an oval with 74-mm-diameter half circles at each end. A runner going once around the track covers a d

lisabon 2012 [21]

The centripetal acceleration a is 4.32 $\times$ 10^-4 m/s^2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed is constant and computing the speed from the distance and time for one full lap.

Given, distance = 400 mm = 0.4 m, Time = 100 s.

Computing the v = 0.4 m / 100 s

v = 4 $\times$ 10^-3 m/s.

radius of the circular end r = 37 mm = 0.037 m.

centripetal acceleration a = v^2 / r

= (4 $\times$ 10^-3)^2 / 0.037

a = 4.32 $\times$ 10^-4 m/s^2.

Rank the tensions in the ropes, t1, t2, and t3, from smallest to largest, when the boxes are in motion and there is no friction

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<span>AS T1,T2,T3 are the tensions in the ropes,assuming that there are Three blocks of mass 3m, 2m, and m.T3 is the string between 3m and 2m,T2 is the string between 2m and m ,T1 is the string attached to m thus T1 pulls the whole set of blocks along, so it must be the largest. T2 pulls the last two masses, but T3 only pulls the last mass, so T3 < T2 < T1.</span>

Suppose an object is launched from a point 320 feet above the earth with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec upward, and the only

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(a)Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =576 ft .

(b)Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

Explanation:

Initial velocity: Initial velocity is a velocity from which an object starts to move.

u is usually used for notation of initial notation.

Final velocity: Final velocity is a velocity of an object after certain second from starting.

The final velocity is denoted by v.

Acceleration: The difference of final velocity and initial velocity per unit time

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

(a)

Given that u= 128 ft\sec and g = 32 ft/sec².

At highest point the velocity of the object is 0 i.e v=0

Since the displacement is opposite to the gravity.

Therefore acceleration( a)= -g = -32 ft/sec².

To find the time this to happen we use the following formula

$v=u+at$

Here v=0

⇒0=128+(-32) t

⇒32t=128

⇒t = 4 sec

To determine the height we use the following formula

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$\Rightarrow s= (128\times4)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-32) \times4^2$

⇒s= 256 ft

Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =(320+256)ft=576 ft .

(b)

At the highest point the velocity of the object is 0.

so u=0. a=g= 32 ft/sec² [ since the direction of gravity and the displacement are same] s= 576 ft

To determine the time to fall we use the following formula

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$\Rightarrow 576 = (0\times t)+\frac{1}{2} \times 32 \times t^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times t^2=576$

$\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{576}{16}$

$\Rightarrow t^2=36$

⇒t=6 sec

Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.
