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>

Satelite communication is only possible using

zimovet [89]

None of the choices is correct.

Satellite communication is quite effective using either analog OR digital transmission.

Sound can't be used for satellite communication at all. (There's no medium to carry the sound to or from the satellite, and if there were, then the round-trip up and down through a geostationary satellite would take at least a minute at the sea-level speed of sound.)

Cellular devices can work but aren't required.

The electric field between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is horizontal, uniform, and has a magnitude E. Asmall object

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$m = 0.041 kg$

Explanation:

As we know that the small particle is in equilibrium at an angle of 16 degree with the vertical

so here we can use force balance in vertical and horizontal direction

$T cos\theta = mg$

$T sin\theta = qE$

now from above equation we have

$T = \sqrt{(mg)^2 + (qE)^2}$

also by division of above two equations we have

$\frac{qE}{mg} = tan\theta$

$qE = mg tan\theta$

now from above equation again

$T = \sqrt{(mg)^2 + (mg)^2 tan^2\theta}$

$T = mg sec\theta$

$0.420 = m(9.81) sec 16$

$m = 0.041 kg$

If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 9.9 kV, what is its resulting speed? (e = 1.60 × 10-19

Nata [24]

Answer:

So speed of electron will be $5.89\times 10^{-7}m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given potential difference V = 9.9 KV

Charge on electron $e=1.6\times 10^{-19}$

So energy of electron $E=eV=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 9.9\times 10^3=15.84\times 10^{-16}J$

This energy of electron will be equal to kinetic energy of electron

So $\frac{1}{2}mv^2=15.84\times 10^{-16}J$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2=15.84\times 10^{-16}$

$v=5.89\times 10^{-7}m/sec$

So speed of electron will be $5.89\times 10^{-7}m/sec$

A 0.717kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 19.32N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wit

hjlf

Answer:

15.38 m.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the block is equal to potential energy of spring at maximum compression

1/ 2 m V² = 1 /2 K X²

m is mass of block , V is its velocity , K is spring constant and X is maximum compression or its amplitude.

X = $V\times\sqrt{\frac{m}{K} }$

Putting the values

x = $79.856\times\sqrt{\frac{.717}{19.32} }$

= 15.38 m.

what is the total magnification of a microscope with an eyepiece magnification of 10x and an objective lens magnification of 50x

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

500x

Explanation:

A microscope had an eyepiece magnification of 10x

The objective lens magnification is 50x

Therefore the total magnification can be calculated as follows

= 10 × 50

= 500x

Hence the total Magnificattion is 500x
