A hockey puck of mass 0.44 kg is shot west at 2.20 m/s strikes a second puck, initially at rest, of mass 0.56 kg. As a result of the collision, the first puck is deflected at an angle of 40° south of west, with a speed of 1.45 m/s. What is the speed of the second puck after the collision?

fossil fuels burn

cities become more industrialized

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
