Particles a, b of mass 3m, 2m respectively are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string passing over a smooth pulley. the system is held at rest, the string is taut and the parts of the string not in contact with the pulley are vertical. the system is then released. after b has travelled 5 m it hits and coalesces with a particle of mass 5m at rest. find the impulse in the string. find also the time taken from the impact until the system first comes momentarily to rest. [take g as 10 m/s? ].

explanation:

areas w steep slopes, west coast, rocky mountains, and appalachian mountains

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
