Two objects of masses 100 g and 200 g are moving along the same line and direction with velocities of 2 ms–1 and 1 ms–1, respectively. They collide and after the collision, the first object moves at a velocity of 1.67 ms–1. Determine the velocity of the second object.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assuming that the first object is object A and the second one is object B, it is given that:

Mass of A (m1) = 100g

Mass of B (m2) = 200g

Initial velocity of A (u1) = 2 m/s

Initial velocity of B (u2) = 1 m/s

Final velocity of A (v1) = 1.67 m/s

Final velocity of B (v2) =?

Total initial momentum = Initial momentum of A + initial momentum of B

= m1u1 + m2u2

= (100g) × (2m/s) + (200g) × (1m/s) = 400 g.m.sec-1

As per the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum before collision must be equal to the total momentum post collision.

v2 = 1.165 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of object B after the collision is 1.165 meters per second.
