Answer:
The slope of a position-time graph can be calculated as:
where
is the increment in the y-variable
is the increment in the x-variable
We can verify that the slope of this graph is actually equal to the velocity. In fact:
corresponds to the change in position, so it is the displacement,
corresponds to the change in time
, so the time interval
Therefore the slope of the graph is equal to
which corresponds to the definition of velocity.
Answer:
The total momentum is
Explanation:
The diagram illustration this system is shown on the first uploaded image (From physics animation)
From the question we are told that
The mass of the first object is
The speed of the first mass is
The mass of the second object is
The speed of the second object is assumed to be
The total momentum of the system is the combined momentum of both object which is mathematically represented as
substituting values
