Hunter is in lab. he clears a spot on his lab bench to start working. he also puts his lab coat and goggles on. he then identifies where all of the safety equipment is. he notices his station is next to the fume hood, which ventilates the chemicals stored there. the noise of the fume hood was bothersome, so hunter turned it off. which could be an error in his set-up? he should not turn off the fume hood.  he should wait to put on his coat until after the directions are given.  he should wait to put on his goggles until after the directions are given.  he should not sit next to the fume hood. 

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)vmomentum is conserved.the left-hand side of the equation represents the momentum in the system before the collision.the right-hand side represents the momentum in the system after the collisionm₁ and v₁ represents the mass and the velocity of the physics blockm₂ and v₂ represents the mass and velocity of the ball of puttyv represents the final velocity of the combined mass.the question states the two masses stick together. they combined mass has its own velocity with the body mass the sum of the two objects' massestheir combined momentum is (m₁ + m₂)vto find the magitude of (m₁ + m₂)v, we need to add the vectors on the left-hand side of the equation: m₁v₁ + m₂v₂.note the diagram. i have positioned the vectors in accordance with their directions.the magnitude of the resultant can be calculated using the pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle situation (north and west are perpendicular)|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (m₁v₁)² + (m₂v₂)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (1.5kg·8.0m/s)² + (0.40kg·20m/s)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  14.4 kg m/sfor two significant figures (assuming that 20m/s is two), this rounds to 14 kg m/s

Is there any opitions? if you have the periodic table, the noble gases are 8a family, the halogen are the 7a family, and the nonmetal are  carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.
