The final velocity of the two pucks is -5 m/s
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.
In fact, in absence of external force, the total momentum of the two pucks before and after the collision must be conserved - so we can write:

where
is the mass of each puck
is the initial velocity of the 1st puck
is the initial velocity of the 2nd puck
v is the final velocity of the two pucks sticking together
Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

an independent variable (IV) that you can change. • Typical IV's might be number of fins, length of rocket, type of material, mass of the rocket. • Choose one dependent variable (DV) and make three launches per DV for each IV for a total of. six launches..

<span>Answer:
For Lewis theory, the most stable species will have a complete octet for as many atoms as possible. Construct Lewis dot structures for each species. You should see that CN+ cannot give a complete octet to the C atom unless a quadruple bond - unknown except in transition metals - is formed. CN will have an odd number of electrons, and is thus a free radical and unstable with respect to dimerization (it forms cyanogen). CN-, the familiar cyanide ion, gives both C and N a complete octet with a triple bond, and is thus the most stable.
Molecular orbital theory is a bit more complex. Nitrogen and carbon are close enough in electronegativity, so the orbitals from the C atom will mix with the same orbitals from the N atom. The molecular orbitals formed will be sigma2s, sigma*2s, pi2p, sigma2p, pi*2p, and sigma*2p. The * denotes an antibonding orbital; these are higher in energy, and electrons placed into these orbitals weaken the bonding between two atoms. CN+ will completely fill the sigma2s, sigma*2s, and pi2p orbitals. CN will add an electron in the bonding sigma2p orbital, and the atoms are thus more strongly bonded than in CN+. CN- fills the sigma2p orbital, and the addition of another bonding electron means that this species has the strongest bond of the three. I might have the names of some of the filled levels incorrect; the energy levels of the sigma2p and pi2p swap at some point. This concept is hard to explain without a picture; see the link.
Thus, both MO and Lewis theory predict CN- as the most stable species, a prediction that matches well with experimental data.</span>
Answer:
The additional trials needed is 48 trials
Explanation:
Given;
initial number of trials, n = 16 trials
the standard deviation, σ = 0.24 s
initial standard error, ε = 0.06 s
The standard error is given by;

To reduce the standard error to 0.03 s, let the additional number of trials = x

Therefore, the additional trials needed is 48 trials.
