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 mass 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.)

Explanation:

Given

-- Initial Velocity of the first

-- Initial Velocity of the second

-- Final Velocity of the first

Required

Determine the final velocity of the second hockey puck ()

This question illustrates law of conservation of momentum and it'll be solved using the following formula:

---- law of conservation of momentum

Substitute in the right values

Solve for v2

Hence, the final velocity of the second hockey puck is 23.182m/s

an ion is a charged atom or molecule. it is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. an atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.
