X=1/2 at^2
3.1=1/2 a *0.64
a=9.68
v=at
v=0.8*9.6875=7.75
To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=ma<span>So when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, </span><span><span>m<span>v⃗ </span></span><span>m<span>v→</span></span></span>, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/h<span>However, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.</span>

Answer:
a)
1.35 kg
b)
2.67 ms⁻¹
Explanation:
a)
= mass of first body = 2.7 kg
= mass of second body = ?
= initial velocity of the first body before collision = 
= initial velocity of the second body before collision = 0 m/s
= final velocity of the first body after collision =
using conservation of momentum equation

Using conservation of kinetic energy

b)
= mass of first body = 2.7 kg
= mass of second body = 1.35 kg
= initial velocity of the first body before collision = 4 ms⁻¹
= initial velocity of the second body before collision = 0 m/s
Speed of the center of mass of two-body system is given as
ms⁻¹
