Question

An object of matt aky Tavelling along,
straight line with a velocity of & nits
find it momentumo​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :       m  

1

​  

=1kg            m  

2

​  

=5kg         u  

1

​  

=10  ms  

−1

               u  

2

​  

=0

Momentum of the system just before collision, P  

i

​  

=m  

1

​  

u  

1

​  

+m  

2

​  

u  

2

​  

 

P  

i

​  

=1×10+5×0=10 kgms  

−1

 

Mass of the combined object, M=m  

1

​  

+m  

2

​  

=6kg

Let velocity of combined object be v

According to conservation of momentum, momentum of the system just after the collision, P  

f

​  

=P  

i

​  

 

⟹P  

f

​  

=10 kg m s  

−1

 

Mv=10

or, 6×v=10        

or, v=1.67 m/s
