Answer:

<em>The rebound speed of the mass 2m is v/2</em>

Explanation:

I will designate the two masses as body A and body B.

mass of body A = m

mass of body B = 2m

velocity of body A = v

velocity of body B = -v    since they both move in opposite direction

final speed of mass A = 2v

final speed of body B = ?

The equation of conservation of momentum for this system is

mv - 2mv = -2mv + x

where x is the final momentum of the mass B

x = mv - 2mv + 2mv

x = mv

to get the speed, we divide the momentum by the mass of mass B

x/2m = v = mv/2m

speed of mass B = <em>v/2</em>

A mother pushes a baby stroller 10 meters by applying 40 newtons of force. how much work was done?
topjm [15]
Based on the situation above the the work done was 400 Joules. <span>Q = FS cos(theta) is the so-called work function. It's important to learn the work physics; you'll see it over and over in science/physics class. Theta is the angle between the force vector F and the distance vector S. In your problem we assume theta = 0, the two vectors were assumed aligned.</span>

A golfer tees off and hits a golf ball at a speed of 31 m/s and at an angle of 35 degrees. What is the horizontal velocity compo
Sever21 [200]
The horizontal component of the velocity of the ball is calculated by multiplying the speed by the cosine of the given angle. 
                        x-component of speed = (31 m/s)(cos 35°) 
                                                               = 25.39 m/s
Thus, the horizontal velocity component of the ball is 25.39 m/s.
