Two velcro-covered pucks slide across the ice, collide and stick to one another. Their interaction with the ice is frictionless.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. False

4. True

Explanation:

Conservation of Momentum

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the system formed by both pucks won't change regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

The momentum of an object of mass ma moving at speed va is

$p_a=m_a.v_a$

The total momentum of both pucks at the initial condition is

$p_1=m_a.v_a+m_b.v_b$

Both pucks are moving to the right and puck B has twice the mass of puck A (let's call it m), thus

$m_a=m$

$m_b=2m$

We are given

$v_a=6\ m/s\\v_b=2\ m/s$

The total initial momentum is

$p_1=6m+2(2m)=10m$

At the final condition, both pucks stick together, thus the total mass is 3m and the final speed is common, thus

$p_2=3m.v'$

Equating the initial and final momentum

$10m=3m.v'$

Solving for v'

$v'=10/3\ m/s=3.33\ m/s$

1. Compute the initial kinetic energy:

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_b^2$

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 6^2+\frac{1}{2}2m\cdot 2^2$

$K_1=18m+4m=22m$

The final kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv'^2$

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 3.33^2+\frac{1}{2}2m\cdot 3.33^2$

$K_2=16.63m$

As seen, part of the kinetic energy is lost in the collision, thus the statement is False

2. The initial speed of puck B was 2 m/s and the final speed was 3.33 m/s, thus it increased the speed: True

3. The initial speed of puck A was 6 m/s and the final speed was 3.33 m/s, thus it decreased the speed: False

4. The momentum is conserved since that was the initial assumption to make all the calculations. True

$p_1=10m$

$p_2=3m.v'=3m(10/3)=10m$

Question :

riadik2000 [5.3K]

The second law of motion states that: the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables: - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object

<h3>Meaning of Motion</h3>

Motion can be defined as the process of changing position willingly or due to a force applied.

Motion can be seen in different forms and types depending on the object.

In conclusion, The second law of motion is used to deduce the formula for acceleration.

Explain why the moon is always half illuminated and half dark no matter where it is in the lunar cycle.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

The easiest way I know to explain it is this:

-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.

-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.

-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.

-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.

Everything in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.

Trace the path of a ray emitted from the tip of the object toward the focal point of the mirror and then the reflected ray that

Crazy boy [7]

Answer: find the attached files for the answer

Explanation:

The reflected ray appears to have originated from the focal point. We should actually draw a vector from the focal point through the point where the incident ray hits the mirror but we shorten the vector so that its starting point is on the mirror, without changing its angle.
