Answer:
Two objects will have the equal velocities but the forces on both of them will not be equal. The equal velocities of these objects are due to their equal acceleration.
Explanation:
From the newton's equation
so here we can say that velocity does not depends on the mass.
The acceleration of both objects will be same but not the forces because
F = Ma
As the force is depending on the mass so it will not be the same for both objects.
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.
Being and
the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is
Since b is initially at rest
After the collision and being and
the respective velocities, the total momentum is
Both momentums are equal, thus
Solving for
The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)
The final kinetic energy is
The change of kinetic energy is
