i'm stuck on that question also
Answer: 20.2 m/s
Explanation:
From the question above, we have the following data;
M1 = 800kg
M2 = 1200kg
V1 = 13m/s
V2 = 25m/s
U (common velocity) =?
M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U
(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U
10400 + 30000 = 2000u
40400 = 2000u
U = 40400 / 2000
U = 20.2 m/s
<span>An object is acted upon by a force of 22 newtons to the right and a force of 13 newtons to the left.
(1) 22 N to the right
(2) 13 N to the left.
magnitude = 22 - 13
magnitude = 9
Direction would be to the right.
So magnitude is 9N direction to the right.</span>
