    Calculating Energy Loss in a Hockey Puck Collision

    One hockey puck of mass 0.1 kg strikes an identical stationary puck on a frictionless ice rink. If the first puck had a velocity V(0)=3.8m/s before the collision and v(1)=0.8 m/s after in the same direction, what fraction of the energy was lost? Where do I even start to find the answer??

    How Is Work Calculated When Pulling a Blimp with Drag and Angle Considerations?

    Would that be using the equation they give me? How would I find the work it takes to overcome the drag? And the blimp is changing altitude. It is going downward at an angle.

    How Is Work Calculated When Pulling a Blimp with Drag and Angle Considerations?

    A blimp of mass 110 kg is pulled at an angle of 52 degrees downwards with respect to the horizontal for D=7 km on level ground at a constant velocity v=14 m/s. If the coefficient of drag (K in F=Kv^2) is 0.5 kg/m, how much work is done by the person pulling? I know how to find work with the...
