The final velocity of the two pucks is -5 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, in absence of external force, the total momentum of the two pucks before and after the collision must be conserved - so we can write:

m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 +m_2)v

where

m_1 = m_2 = m = 10 kg is the mass of each puck

u_1 = 10 m/s is the initial velocity of the 1st puck

u_2 = -20 m/s is the initial velocity of the 2nd puck

v is the final velocity of the two pucks sticking together

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

mu_1 + mu_2 = (m+m)v\\u_1 + u_2 = 2v\\v=\frac{u_1+u_2}{2}=\frac{10-20}{2}=-5 m/s

PLEASE HELP!!
BartSMP [9]

Answer:A) 19.8 seconds

B) 467.5 metres

Explanation: 100km/hr = 27.78m/s

So, it covers 27.78 metres in one second

Take the time it would cover 550m as x

Therefore 27.78m = 1second

550m = x

Cross multiplying

27.78x = 550m

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x

x = 550÷27.78

x = 19.8seconds

B) distance = speed × time

Speed = 85km/hr = 23.61m/s

Time = 19.8seconds

Therefore,

Distance = 23.61 × 19.8

Distance = 467.5m
