A hockey puck with a mass of 0.167 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 5.45 m/s, but it comes to a rough patch in the ice, which slows it down to a speed of 2.95 m/s. How much energy is dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The energy dissipated is 1.754 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hockey  = 0.167 Kg

Initial velocity = 5.45 m/s

Finally velocity = 2.95 m/s

We need to calculate to the energy dissipated over the rough patch = loss in kinetic

[tex]E_{d}=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{2}^2-v_{1}^2)[/tex]

Where, m = mass

[tex]v_{1}[/tex] = Initial velocity

[tex]v_{2}[/tex] = Final velocity

Put the value into the formula

[tex]E_{d}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.167\times(2.95^2-5.45^2)[/tex]

[tex]E_{d}=-1.7535\ J[/tex]

Negative sign shows the loss of energy.

Hence, The energy dissipated is 1.754 J.
