Assume that the small-massed particle is
and the heavier mass particle is
.
Now, by momentum conservation and energy conservation:


Now, there are 2 solutions but, one of them is useless to this question's main point so I excluded that point. Ask me in the comments if you want the excluded solution too.

So now, we see that
and
. So therefore, the smaller mass recoils out.
Hope this helps you!
Bye!
Answer:
P = F/S = 100/2 =50 (N/m2)
Explanation:
Assuming the wall is frictionless, there are four forces acting on the ladder.
Weight pulling down at the center of the ladder (mg).
Reaction force pushing to the left at the wall (Rw).
Reaction force pushing up at the foot of the ladder (Rf).
Friction force pushing to the right at the foot of the ladder (Ff).
(a) Calculate the reaction force at the wall.
Take the sum of the moments about the foot of the ladder.
∑τ = Iα
Rw (3.0 sin 60°) − mg (1.5 cos 60°) = 0
Rw (3.0 sin 60°) = mg (1.5 cos 60°)
Rw = mg / (2 tan 60°)
Rw = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (2√3)
Rw = 28 N
(b) State the friction at the foot of the ladder.
Take the sum of the forces in the x direction.
∑F = ma
Ff − Rw = 0
Ff = Rw
Ff = 28 N
(c) State the reaction at the foot of the ladder.
Take the sum of the forces in the y direction.
∑F = ma
Rf − mg = 0
Rf = mg
Rf = 98 N
Answer:
b
Explanation:
it melts yes but it's still water [same element] so there fore it's a physical change
