Answer:

Velocity of Object with 2 kg= 3.390 m/s

Velocity of Object with 3 kg= 3.404 m/s

Explanation:

From the picture, it can be seen that object B is initially at rest while object A is travelling at a speed of 5m/s. After the collision, Object A moves at an angle of 65 degrees while object B moves at an angle of 37 degrees.

We also know that momentum of a closed system is conserved.

Initial momentum along the x-axis = 2*5.5 = 11

Initial momentum along y-axis = 0

Final momentum along x-axis= a*Cos(65)*2 +b*Cos(37) *3= 11 (a is the velocity of object A of 2 kg after collision where as b is the velocity of object B of 3 kg after collision. velocity is multiplied by cosines of the angle from x axis to give the horizontal component of the velocities).

Final momentum along y-axis = a*Sin(65)*2 - b*Sin(37)*3 =0 (We can see that vertical components of velocity are opposite in direction to each other)

Solve both the equations simultaneously for a and b.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

E) momentum and mechanical energy

Explanation:

In the context, an object is attached to the another mass with a spring which is initially at a rest position. Now when the spring is compressed, the two masses moves with the same speed. Now since the both the masses combines with the spring to move together they are considered as one system and in this case the momentum and the kinetic energy will be conserved.

The kinetic energy and momentum of the system after collision and the kinetic energy and momentum of the two masses before collision will be constant.
