Speed is just how fast the object is moving, while velocity is the speed and <em>direction </em>of the object.

edit* Direction would be something such as North, East, etc.

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider direction towards left as positive Let the required velocity be v and let v makes an angle φ

Applying law of conservation of momentum along direction of original motion

m₁ v₁  - m₂ v₂ = m₂v₃ - m₁ v₄

0.132 x 1.25 - .143 x 1.14 = 1.03 cos43 x .143 - v cos θ

v cos θ = .8

Applying law of conservation of momentum along direction perpendicular to direction of original motion

1.03 sin 43 x .143 = .132 x v sinθ

v sinθ = .76

squaring and adding

v² = .76 ² + .8²

v = 1.1 m /s

Tan θ = .76 / .8

θ = 44°

How does friction affect the kinetic energy of an object?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: Friction also prevents an object from starting to move, such as a shoe placed on a ramp. When friction acts between two surfaces that are moving over each other, some kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy. Friction can sometimes be useful.
