A 2 kg blob of putty moving at 3 m/s slams into a 3 kg blob of putty at rest. Which blob has the most momentum prior to the coll

Ray Of Light [21]

initial momentum of 2 kg blob is given as

$P_1 = m_1v_1$

here we have

$m_1 = 2kg$

$v_1 = 3m/s$

$P_1 = 3(2) = 6 kg m/s$

initial momentum of 3 kg blob is given as

$P_2 = m_2v_2$

here we have

$m_2 = 3kg$

$v_2 = 0m/s$

$P_2 = 3(0) = 0 kg m/s$

So initially 2 kg Blob has most momentum before they collide

Heather and Matthew take 45 s to walk eastward along a straight road to a store 72 m away. What is their average velocity?

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

v = 1.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 72 m

Time taken, t = 45 s

We need to find their average velocity. Average velocity of an object is given by total distance divided by total time taken.

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{72\ m}{45\ s}\\\\v=1.6\ m/s$

So, their average velocity is 1.6 m/s.
