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.
The acceleration of the object is 
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law, which states that the net force exerted on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

where
F is the net force
m is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
For the object in this problem,
F = 500 N is the applied force
m = 75 kg is the force
Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration:

Red shift of distant galaxies
The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:
1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/<em>R₁</em> + 1/(221.0 Ω)
1/<em>R₁</em> = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)
<em>R₁</em> = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω
<u>Answer :</u>
(a) d = 0.25 m
(b) d = 0.5 m
<u>Explanation :</u>
It is given that,
Frequency of sound waves, f = 686 Hz
Speed of sound wave at
is, v = 343 m/s
(1) Perfectly destructive interference occurs when the path difference is half integral multiple of wavelength i.e.
........(1)
Velocity of sound wave is given by :




Hence, when the speakers are in phase the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is perfectly destructive is 0.25 m.
(2) For constructive interference, the path difference is integral multiple of wavelengths i.e.
( n = integers )
Let n = 1
So, 


Hence, the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive is 0.5 m.
