If a hockey puck is made to slide along a straight line on a completely frictionless surface, which statement about the motion of the hockey puck is true? the hockey puck will come to a halt immediately. the hockey puck will continue moving with constant velocity along a straight line. the hockey puck will accelerate and continue moving in straight line. the hockey puck will continue moving in random direction. nextreset

The hockey puck will continue moving with constant velocity along a straight line.

Explanation:

Friction decelerates the motion of a moving body. In the absence of friction on smooth surface an object in moving with uniform velocity will continue to move in a straight line until acted upon by some force. A rough surface has a higher friction and it will decelerate a moving object such that the object will not be able to travel very far in a uniform velocity but quickly come to halt.

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
