Question

A set of data is collected for object in an inelastic collision, as recorded in the table.

Answer 1

Answer:

To identify the momentum of object 1, you must multiply mass (m) and velocity(v) to find momentum.

Object 1 has momentum of 8 kg. m/s before collision.

Object 1 has momentum of 0 kg. m/s before collision.

The combined mass after the collision had a total momentum of 8 kg. m/s.

Explanation:

Momentum of the object is given by,

Momentum = mass × velocity

For object 1:

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 2 × 4

Momentum = 8 kg. m/s

For object 2:

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 6 × 0

Momentum = 0 kg. m/s

For object 1 + object 2:

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 8 × 1

Momentum = 8 kg. m/s

To identify the momentum of object 1, you must multiply mass (m) and velocity(v) to find momentum.

Object 1 has momentum of 8 kg. m/s before collision.

Object 1 has momentum of 0 kg. m/s before collision.

The combined mass after the collision had a total momentum of 8 kg. m/s.
