The IMA of the pulley shown is 2.
Answer:
<em>Is it NOT possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision</em>
Explanation:
<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum</u>
The total linear momentum of a system of particles is conserved regardless of their internal interactions while no external force is applied to the system. If
and
are the masses of two particles, and only one of them is at rest, there is a non-zero total linear momentum, i.e.

if at least one of the speeds is not zero, the total initial linear momentum is not zero.
If after the collision, both particles remain at rest, both speeds will be zero and the total linear momentum won't be conserved.
So, is it NOT possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision
The way I actually did that it was just like a little bit of a panic attack and I was like literally dying laughing at my chrome book mark and I was like literally dying laughing at the park I was laughing so loud and I’m literally gonna laughing so I can’t do tell him what he says I don’t think I
