Question

two objects each of mass 1.5kg are moving in tha same straight line but in opposite direction.the velocity of each object is 2.5m/s before collision during which they stuck together find the velocity of combination after collision

Answer 1

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

Given, let us consider,

Mass of the first object as variable "$m_1$" = 1.5 kg

Mass of the second object as variable "$m_2$" = 1.5 kg

Before colliding the velocity of first object that is "$m_1$", considered as variable "$v_1$" = 2.5 m/s

Before colliding and moving into an opposite direction the velocity of second object that is "$m_2$", considered as variable "$v_2$" = - 2.5 m/s

As, the second object is moving in a opposite direction it'll be taken as negative. And, after the collision has occurred, they're sticking together (as said in question).

Therefore, total mass of this newly formed combined object will be;

$m_1 v_1 + m_2 + v_2 = (m_1 + m_2) \times v$

$m_1 \: \: and \: \: m_2 = 1.5 \: kg$, $v_1 = 2.5 \: m/s\: \: and \: \: v_2 = - 2.5 \: m/s$

Now, Substituting the values given above into this equation :

$\bf{1.5 (2.5) + 1.5 (- 2.5) = (1.5 + 1.5) \times v}$

$\bf{3.75 - 3.75 = 3 \times v}$

Subtract the values and divided by "3".

$\bf{\frac{3.75 - 3.75}{3} = \frac{3}{3} \times v}$

$\therefore \: \: v = 0 \: m/s$

Therefore, the total combined object, after colliding should've a velocity of $\bf{0 \: m/s}$

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AND CLEARS YOUR DOUBTS FOR FINDING VELOCITY AFTER THE COLLISION IS DONE!!!!!!!!
