An exercise with linear momentum and balls colliding
Not what you're looking for?
A stationary ball with a mass of 1.6kg, is struck by an identical ball moving with a velocity of 3m/sec.
After the collision the two balls stick together and contiue moving in a straight line, what is the final velocity?

Solution Summary
The linear momentum physics of wo balls colliding and sticking together is examined and the final veloicty of the combined combination is determined
Solution Preview
Momentum before collision denote as p1
p1 = m*v1
where m = 1.6 kg, v1 = 3 m/s
Thus
p1 = 1.6 x 3 = 4.8 ...
