Answer:3.31m/s², to the right
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of momentum of a body, change in momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the change in momentum after collision.
Momentum = mass × velocity
M1 and M2 be the masses of the first and second skaters respectively
Let u1 and u2 be the velocities of the first and second skaters respectively.
v be their common velocity after collision
M1 = 77kg M2 = 66kg u1 = 4m/s² u2 = 2.5m/s²
According to the law we have
M1u1 + M2u2 = (M1+M2)v
77(4) + 66(2.5) = (77+66)v
308 + 165 = 143v
V = 473/143
V = 3.31m/s²
Their velocity after collision will become 3.31m/s²
They will both move towards the right after collision because the mass of the body moving to the right is higher than the other mass and the mass is also moving at a higher velocity than the other.
The force of impact is same for both bus and the bicycle. The acceleration of bicycle will be greater than the acceleration of bus.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The interaction that occurs between two objects refers to collision. this makes the two objects to come in contact with each other. The third law of Newton states that, when there occurs a collision between two objects, then the force that is applied on each object will be same. But, the direct in which the force is impacted will be in opposite direction.
The magnitude of the forces will be equal but the direction will not be same. The collision results in gaining the momentum by one object and losing momentum by another. The acceleration is mainly associated with the mass of the object. When the object has smaller mass, it will be accelerated more. In the given example, as bus is heavier than bicycle, the bicycle will have greater acceleration than the bus.
In order to understand the results of another scientist's work, any scientist
who reads the report MUST understand the measurement system in which
the result is described. Otherwise the result is meaningless to him.
