The initial momentum of the system can be expressed as,
The final momentum of the system can be given as,
According to conservation of momentum,
Plug in the known expressions,
Initially, the second mass move towards the first mass therefore the initial speed of second mass will be taken as negative and the recoil velocity of first mass is also taken as negative.
Plug in the known values,
Thus, the final velocity of second mass is 2.99 m/s.
It depends on how much time 45 j will go, so if you told me that it went through 45 j per minute it will go through for 2 minutes so not efficient unless it went through 45 j per hour then it is efficient.
Answer:
True, the total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy. This sum is simply referred to as the total mechanical energy.
Explanation: Hope it helps you:))))
