Conservation of momentum => momentum before collision = momentum after collision

Momentum before collision = momentum of object a = m*v = 1.5 kg * 11.2 m/s

= 16.8 N*s (in x direction)

Momentum after collision = momentum of object a + momentum of object b =

= 1.5 kg * v + 4.5 kg * 5.6m/s = 1.5kg*v + 25.2 N*s

= > 16.8 = 1.5v + 25.2 => 1.5v = 16.8 - 25.2 = -8.4

=> v = -8.4 / 1.5 = -5.6 m/s

The negative sign means that the object a went back after the collision.

How original were Newton’s contributions to science? (In what ways did Newton depend on the mechanical view?)
kvasek [131]
Newton's new “reflecting telescope” was more powerful than ... Before Newton, scientists primarily adhered to ancient theories on ... laws of motion laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. Newton's research on motion helped give credibility to the heliocentric view. Newton also helped pioneer telescopic innovations, and he is sometimes credited with inventing the first reflecting telescope. He also conducted experiments using the prism, and developed a theory about the nature of color and light.

How can you change the phases of matter using thermal energy
Leokris [45]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.
