Explanation:
Given: Initial Velocity=0
Final Velocity= 20 m/s
Time= 4 s
Accleration: Unknowns
Use kinematic equation
so a = 5 m/s^2
It would not. Imagine four forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (e.g. north, east, south, and west). If these forces were to double in magnitude they would still have the same magnitude, meaning the net force is still equal to zero.
The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed.
Equating momentum before and after collision:
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.
