An object of mass 2 kg travelling in a straight line with a velocity of 20m/sec collides with, and strikes to, a stationary object of mass 3 kg. They both move off together in the same straight line with a velocity of v m/sec. If no external forces are acting calculate
a. the total momentum just before the impact
b. the total momentum just after the impact
c. the velocity v.
Solution Preview
Momentum of the system = m1 * v1 + m2 * v2.
<br>
<br>The total momentum just before the impact:
<br>Momentum of the 2 kg mass is 2 kg * 20 ...
Solution Summary
This solution calculates the momentum and velocity of two colliding objects.
... an inelastic collision. The initial KE was 2690 J but the final KE was only 151 J. Kinetic energy is not conserved in this case. For all collisions, momentum ...
