Answer:
(a) 1.21 m/s
(b) 2303.33 J, 152.27 J
Explanation:
m1 = 95 kg, u1 = - 3.750 m/s, m2 = 113 kg, u2 = 5.38 m/s
(a) Let their velocity after striking is v.
By use of conservation of momentum
Momentum before collision = momentum after collision
m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v
- 95 x 3.75 + 113 x 5.38 = (95 + 113) x v
v = ( - 356.25 + 607.94) / 208 = 1.21 m /s
(b) Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2 m1 x u1^2 + 1/2 m2 x u2^2
= 0.5 ( 95 x 3.750 x 3.750 + 113 x 5.38 x 5.38)
= 0.5 (1335.94 + 3270.7) = 2303.33 J
Kinetic energy after collision = 1/2 (m1 + m2) v^2
= 0.5 (95 + 113) x 1.21 x 1.21 = 152.27 J
What work??? I don’t see anything
True.
I think that’s the answer.
When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the object state of rest or motion depends on the size and direction of the force.
If a body is at state of rest or motion, when an unbalanced external force acts on it, its starts moving in the direction of force and magnitude of its velocity or acceleration depends on the magnitude of force applied.
