Two blocks are on a horizontal frictionless surface. Block a is moving with an initial velocity
1 answer:
The final velocity of the block A will be 2.5 m/sec. The principal of the momentum conversation is used in the given problem.
<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.
In a given concern, mass m₁ is M, mass m₂ is 3M. Initial speed for the mass m₁ and m₂ will be u₁=5 and u₂=0 m/s respectively,
According to the law of conservation of momentum
Momentum before collision =Momentum after collision
m₁u₁+m₂u₂=(m₁+m₂)v
M×5+3M×0=[M+3M]v
The final velocity is found as;
V=51.25 m/s
The velocity of block A is found as;
Hence, the final velocity of the block A will be 2.5 m/sec.

Answer:
The atomic mass unit is 1/12 of an atom of carbon 12, and is a very small amount to represent in kilograms:
is atomic mass unit.
This is why the benefits of the atomic mass unit is that it makes the representation of atomic masses easier in terms of the simplicity of the numbers that are used to represent the masses. Also using the atomic mass unit it is easier to compare the masses of different atoms, These numbers would be very small and would require negative powers of 10 to represent them, so it is more convenient to use the atomic mass unit.
