To do work, this truck uses energy stored in chemical fuel and an electrical battery. An illustration of truck with a wide arrow away from it labeled input energy? J and it splits into 3 arrows labeled kinetic energy 400 J, heat 250 J, and friction 150 J. How much total energy does this truck put out? 50 J 250 J 400 J 800 J

Answerit causes heavy precipitation for a short period of time

Part a:   using momentum conservation we have:   direction x:   (15) (7.0) + 0 = (15) (4.2) cos (-20 °) + (10) v₂ (f) cosθ  (10) v₂ (f) cosθ = (15) (7.0) - (15) (4.2) cos (-20 °) (eq 1)  direction y:   0 + 0 = (15) (4.2) sin (-20 °) + (10) v₂ (f) sinθ  (10) v₂ (f) sinθ = - (15) (4.2) sin (-20 °) (eq 2)  we divide both equations (1) and (2):   left side:   (10) v₂ (f) sinθ / (10) v₂ (f) cosθ = tanθ  right side:   - (15) (4.2) sin (-20 °) / (15) (7.0) - (15) (4.2) cos (-20 °)  clearing the angle we have:   θ = tan⁻¹ [- (15) (4.2) sin (-20 °) / (15) (7.0) - (15) (4.2) cos (-20 °)]  θ = 25 °  we use any of the equations to find the speed.  from (2) we have:   (10) v₂ (f) sinθ = - (15) (4.2) sin (-20 °)  v₂ = - (15) (4.2) sin (-20 °) / (10) sin25 °  answer:   v₂ = 5.1m / s  note:     θ = 25 ° (direction is in the first quadrant, north of east)  part b:   initial kinetic energy:   k (i) = 0.5 (15) (7.0) ²  = 370j (rounded)  final kinetic energy:   ke (f) = 0.5 (15kg) (4.2m / s) ² + 0.5 (10kg) (5.1m / s) ²  = 260j (rounded)  answer:     a difference of 110j, so it was an inelastic collision.

The scientist was trying to demonstrate that humans can introduce their own biases into an experiment. bias is a prejudice in favor of one thing compared with the another.in this case, the bias is believing that mice with higher intelligence would solve the maze better.  bias in science should be avoided as it is not desirable that research becomes influenced by scientists personal beliefs.
