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>

The resistance of a lamp that draws 0.5A of current when it is operated by a 12V battery will be Ω
lisabon 2012 [21]
According to Ohm's Law, the resistance, current and voltage are related as:

V = IR
⇒
R = V/I

V is given to be 12 Volts.
I is given to be 0.5 Ampere 

So, resistance will be:

R = 12/0.5 = 24 ohms

John accidentally drops his keys off the balcony at his apartment. John's friend Tony just happens to walk by at that moment and
EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

In order to find out if the keys will reach John or not, we can use the formula of projectile motion to find the maximum height reached by the keys:

H = V²Sin²θ/2g

where,

V = Launch Speed = 18 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 40°

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

H = (18 m/s)²[Sin 40°]²/(2)(9.8 m/s²)

H = 6.83 m

Hence, the maximum height that can be reached by the projectile or the keys is greater than the height of John's Balcony(5.33 m).

Therefore, the keys will make it back to John.

Which statement best explains how a planet affects the orbit of a comet as the comet passes by the planet?
mezya [45]
Comets orbit the sun just like planets do. Except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. Thanks to the laws of gravity comets obey the same laws. A comets orbit takes it very close to the sun and then far away again.

Do any of the galaxies appear to be closer to each other as your universe expands? What does this say about the possibility of g
Luda [366]

Explanation:

In local galactic group the force of expansion of universe is overcome by the force of attraction due  to gravity. Best example is our own galaxy milky way and another giant galaxy in our local group Andromeda. Andromeda having enormous gravity is pulling milky way towards itself, overcoming the force of expansion.

So, there  are possibilities of collision despite the expansion of universe at a rapid pace. It is estimated that the milky way and Andromeda will collide each other after about 50 billion years from now.
