Puck 1 (0.5 kg) travels with velocity 80 m/s to the right when it collides with puck 2 (2 kg) which is initially at rest. after the collision, puck 1 moves with a velocity of -16 m/s. assume that no external forces are present and therefore the momentum for the system of pucks is conserved. what is the final velocity (in m/s) of puck 2 after the collision?

True or false when elements combine to form a mixture, the resulting chemical properties may be very different from those of the elements that make it.

You are a sales representative for a company that makes a new alternate fuel for vehicles. you have prepared a presentation for the environmental engineers to sell your new product. what question do you expect the audience to ask regarding whether the new fuel will cause less damage to the environment? a. do we have to change any parts of the vehicle to use this alternate fuel? b. will the vehicles get better fuel mileage with the alternate fuel? c. how much greenhouse gas does your fuel produce compared with current fuel sources? d. is the alternate fuel more expensive than fossil fuel?

Imagine that you have two balloons (or, better yet, actually inflate two balloons, if possible). create static electricity around one of the balloons by rubbing it against your hair or your sweater and then bring that balloon close to the other balloon, which has not been charged. try this with at least one other object—and for variety in the discussion, avoid using an object already described by your classmates. then, for your initial post to the discussion, answer the following questions: what happened with the two balloons?
