Question

an object of mass 1 kg travelling in a straight line with the velocity of 10m/s collides with an sticks to a stationary wooden vlog of mass 5kg then they both move together in a same straight line. Calculate the total momentum & combine velocity???

Answer 1

No external force acts, so total momentum is conserved.
Momentum = 1×10 = 10
10 = (M+m)v where v is the combined velocity
M = 5, m= 1
Thus v = 5/3 m/s

Answer 2

HELLO FRIEND HERE IS YOUR ANSWER,,,,,,,,


Full Question: An object of mass 1 kg is found to be travelling with a velocity if 10 m/s along a straight line in turn colliding with a stationery wooden block having a mass of 5 kg. Calculate the total momentum of it just before and after the colliding is done. Calculate the total velocity of a combined system.

ANSWER :

Refer and consult to the following attachments for a detailed explanation and step by step solution with vital elaborations for certain formulas used into this query to arrive at a final conclusion that is,,,,


$\boxed{\bf{Total \: Momentum = 10 \: Kg \: m/s}}$


$\boxed{\bf{Total \: Velocity = \frac{5}{3} \: m/s}}$


HOPE IT HELPS YOU AND CLEARS THE DOUBTS TO FIND TOTAL MOMENTUM AND TOTAL VELOCITY OF THE GIVEN SYSTEM!!!!!!!
