Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:

m_{1} * v_{1} +  m_{2} * v_{2} =  m_{1} * v'_{1} +  m_{2} * v'_{2}

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We have following information:
m₁=3 kg
m₂=? kg
v₁=x m/s
v₂=0 m/s
v'1 = v'2 = 1/3 * v₁

Now we insert given information and solve for m₂:
3*v₁ + 0*? = 3*1/3*v₁ + m₂*1/3*v₁
3v₁ = v₁ + m₂*1/3*v₁
2v₁ = m₂*1/3*v₁
2 = m₂*1/3
m₂= 6kg

Mass of second mud ball is 6kg.

Why are the peaks opposite in direction?
blagie [28]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Peaks are in opposite direction because change in magnetic field at one end of the coil is opposite to the change in magnetic field at other end of the coil. Faraday's law predict that the direction of induced voltage is dependent on the nature of change in magnetic field

Under ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure, the particles in a gas are Select one: a. closely packed. b. very far fro
klemol [59]

Answer:

The particle of a gas are very far apart from each other.

Explanation:

The states of matter comprises of solid, liquid and gas. The molecules of gas are free because they are not tightly held together by molecular force. The force between the molecules has been broken, hence the particles possesses the freedom to move about thereby possessing high kinetic energy (energy possessed by a body due to its motion). Since this molecules can easily move freely, they are always far apart from each other under ordinary temperature and pressure.

An object that has negative acceleration is definitely doing what?
aksik [14]

Answer:

An object with 0 acceleration is accelerating in a direction that is opposite to a stated positive direction.

Explanation:

Acceleration is not always based on speeding up or slowing down (a constant speed is no acceleration at all), it's also based on direction. If you state that an object is positively accelerating when you throw it upwards, then it's negatively accelerating when it's falling even though it's velocity is increasing.
