Definition: Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
OK. Here we go.
Watch closely:
Divide each side
by 'mass' : <span>Momentum / mass = Speed </span>
Did you follow that ?
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The kinetic energy after the perfectly inelastic collision would be zero Joules. <span>A </span>perfectly inelastic collision<span> occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy of a system is lost. Hope this answers the question.</span>
<span>Assuming that the momenta of the two pieces are equal: when they have equal velocities, then
the masses of the two pieces are also equal.
Since there is no force from outside of the system, the center of mass moves on with the same velocity as before the equation. So the two pieces must fly at the side side of the mass center, i.e., they must always be at 90° to the side of the mass center. Otherwise it would not be the mass center, respectively the pieces would not have equal velocities.
This is only possible, when the angle of their velocity with the initial direction is 60°.
Because, cos (60°) = 1/2 = v/(2v).</span>
The answer to this question is 1cm/s
Answer:
Explanation: Decreasing in velocity
