Even if there were some friction on the ice, it is still possible to use conservation of momentum to solve this problem, but you

would need to impose an additional condition on the problem. What is that additional condition

The problem referred to in this question is missing and it is;

Two hockey pucks of identical mass are on a flat, horizontal ice hockey rink. The red puck is motionless; the blue puck is moving at 2.5 m/s to the left. It collides with the motionless red puck. The pucks have a mass of 15 g. After the collision, the red puck is moving at 2.5 m/s, to the left. What is the final velocity of the blue puck?

Answer:

The condition is that p_f - p_i which is the change in momentum will not be equal to zero but equal to the impulse (Ft).

Explanation:

In the problem described, by inspection, we can say that since there is no friction, we have a closed system and thus momentum is conserved.

Since momentum is conserved, we can say that;

Initial momentum(p_i) = final momentum(p_f)

Now, in this question we are told that some friction wants to be introduced on the ice and it's possible to still use conservation of momentum.

From impulse - momentum theory, we know that;

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse is zero when no force is acting on the ice and we have; 0 = p_f - p_i

This will yield initial momentum = final momentum.

Now, since a force is applied, we know that impulse is; J = F × t

Thus;

Ft = p_f - p_i

Where F is the force due to friction.

Thus, the condition is that p_f - p_i will not be equal to zero

A cup of coffee is sitting on a table in a train that is moving with a constant velocity. The coefficient of static friction bet
Vikki [24]

Answer:

a = 2.94 m/s²

Explanation:

In order for the cup not to slip, the unbalanced force on cup must be equal to the frictional force:

Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force

ma = μR = μW

ma = μmg

a = μg

where,

a = maximum acceleration for the cup not to slip = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.3

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

a = (0.3)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>a = 2.94 m/s²</u>

Martin has severe myopia, with a far point on only 17 cm. He wants to get glasses that he'll wear while using his computer whose
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Far point = 17 cm . That means he can not see beyond this distance .

He wants to see at an object at 65 cm away . That means object placed at 65 has image at 17 cm by concave lens . Using lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / - 17 - 1 / - 65 = 1 / f

= 1 / 65 - 1 / 17

= -  .0434 = 1 / f

power = - 100 / f

= - 100 x .0434

= - 4.34 D .

A child walks due east on the deck of a ship at 2 miles per hour. the ship is moving north at a speed of 18 miles per hour. find
garik1379 [7]
Refer to the figure shown below.

The velocity of the child and the velocity of the ship should be added vectorially to find the speed and direction of the child relative to the water surface.

The magnitude of the child's velocity is
v = √(2² + 18²) = 18.11 mph

The direction of the child's speed is
θ = tan⁻¹ (18/2) = tan⁻¹ 9 = 83.7° north of east or counterclockwise from the eastern direction.

Answer:
The magnitude is 18.1 mph.
The direction is 84° north of east.

Astronomers have found water on mars.
vodomira [7]

The thin atmosphere of Mars is thought to be due to the planet's lack of a magnetic field, which has allowed the Solar wind to blow away much of the gas the planet once had. Venus, despite still having a thick atmosphere of CO2, surprisingly has a similar problem
