If velocity is decreasing, then acceleration is in the direction
opposite to the velocity.
If the object is moving in the direction that you call 'positive',
then acceleration is negative.
Answer:
5.4 J.
Explanation:
Given,
mass of the object, m = 2 Kg
initial speed, u = 5 m/s
mass of another object,m' = 3 kg
initial speed of another orbit,u' = 2 m/s
KE lost after collusion = ?
Final velocity of the system
Using conservation of momentum
m u + m'u' = (m + m') V
2 x 5 + 3 x 2 = ( 2 + 3 )V
16 = 5 V
V = 3.2 m/s
Initial KE = 
= 
= 31 J
Final KE = 
Loss in KE = 31 J - 25.6 J = 5.4 J.
The vertical components of velocity is 10.35 m/s and the horizontal component of velocity is 38.6 m/s
<h3>What are the components of velocity?</h3>
We know that velocity is a vector quantity, a vector often can be resolved into its components. The vertical components is V sinθ while the horizontal component is vcosθ.
Hence;
Vertical component = 40 m/s sin 15 degrees = 10.35 m/s
Horizontal component = 40 cos 15 degrees = 38.6 m/s
