Two frictionless pucks are placed on a level surface, as shown, at an initial distance of

20.0 m. The mass of puck 1 is 0.80 kg and it has a charge of +3.0 ×10^-4 , while puck 2 is

0.40 kg with a charge of +3.0 ×10^-4 . The initial velocity of puck 1 is 12.0 m/s [E] and the initial velocity of puck 2 is 8.0 m/s [W]. Find the minimum separation of the two pucks (the minimum distance between the pucks).

The drawing shows a collision between two pucks on an air-hockey table. Puck A has a mass of 0.20 kg and is moving along the x axis with a velocity of 6.60 m/s. It makes a collision with puck B, which has a mass of 0.40 kg and is initially at rest. After the collision, the two pucks fly apart with angles as shown in the drawing (α = 62° and β = 40°). Find the final speed of puck...

Two wooden pucks approach each other on an ice rink as shown in the figure. Puck #2 has an initial speed of 4.14 m/s and a mass that is some fraction f = 2 3 that of puck #1. Puck #1 is made of a hard wood and puck #2 is made of a very soft wood. As a result, when they collide, puck #1 makes a dent in puck #2 and 13.2% of the initial kinetic energy of the...

Two blocks with masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface. A light spring is placed in a horizontal position between the blocks. The blocks are pushed together, compressing the spring, and then released from rest. After contact with the spring ends, the 5.0-kg mass has a speed of 2.0 m/s. How much potential energy was stored in the spring when the blocks were released?

Two objects of masses m1 = 0.40 kg and m2 = 0.92 kg are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface and a compressed spring of force constant k = 290 N/m is placed between them as in figure (a). Neglect the mass of the spring. The spring is not attached to either object and is compressed a distance of 9.6 cm. If the objects are released from rest, find the final velocity of each object as shown in figure (b)....

1. Consider the diatomic nitrogen molecule N2, which is rotating in the xy plane about the z axis passing through its center, perpendicular to its length. The mass of each nitrogen atom is about m= 2.40×10-26 kg, and at room temperature, the separation between the two-nitrogen atom is d = 1.32×10-10 m. A typical speed of a molecule is 4.60×1012 rad/s. If the nitrogen molecule is rotating with this angular speed about the z axis, what is its rotational kinetic...
