A 1.0-kg block moving to the right at speed 3.0 m/s collides with an identical block also moving to the right at a speed 1.0 m/s

. Both blocks stick together and move to the right. What is their speed after collision?

Answer:

Speed of both blocks after collision is 2 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both blocks, m₁ = m₂ = 1 kg

Velocity of first block, u₁ = 3 m/s

Velocity of other block, u₂ = 1 m/s

Since, both blocks stick after collision. So, it is a case of inelastic collision. The momentum remains conserved while the kinetic energy energy gets reduced after the collision. Let v is the common velocity of both blocks. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

v=\dfrac{1\ kg\times 3\ m/s+1\ kg\times 1\ m/s}{2\ kg}

v = 2 m/s

Hence, their speed after collision is 2 m/s.

soldier1979 [14.2K]
The question doesn't give us enough information to answer.
The answer depends on the mass of the object, how long the force
acts on the object, the OTHER forces on the object, and whether the
object is free to move.

-- If you increase the force with which you push on a brick wall,
the amount of work done remains unchanged, namely Zero.

-- If you push on a pingpong ball with a force of 1 ounce for 1 second,
the ball accelerates substantially, it moves a substantial distance, and
so the work done is substantial.

-- But if you push on a battleship, even with a much bigger force ...
let's say 1 pound ... and keep pushing for a month ... the ship accelerates
microscopically, moves a microscopic distance, and the work done by
your force is microscopic.

Explain why your PE and KE are usually not both high at the same time (If PE is high then usually KE is low)
AfilCa [17]
Might help:

an object can have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time. for example, an object which is falling, but has not reached the ground has kinetic energy because it is moving downwards, and potential energy because it is able to move downwards even further than it already has. as an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. the decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.
