Question

Sometimes, in an intense battle, gunfire is so intense that bullets from opposite sides collide in midair. Suppose that one (with mass M = 5.12 g moving to the right at a speed V = [08]____________________ m/s directed 21.3° above the horizontal) collides and fuses with another with mass m = 3.05 g moving to the left at a speed v = 282 m/s directed 15.4° above the horizontal. a. What is the magnitude of their common velocity (m/s) immediately after the collision? b. What is the direction of their common velocity immediately after the collision? (Measure this angle in degrees from the horizontal.) c. What fraction of the original kinetic energy was lost in the collision?
