Answer:
<em>The speed of metal block B is 5 m/s after the collision</em>
Explanation:
<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>
The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and velocity v is
P=mv.
If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of them all
If some collision occurs, the velocities change to v' and the final momentum is:
In a system of two masses, we have:
The metal block A has a mass of m1=3.2 Kg and moves at v1=4 m/s. Metal block b has a mass of m2=1.6 Kg and is initially at rest v2=0.
After the collision occurs, block A moves at v1'=1.5 m/s. We need to calculate the speed of the metal block B. Solving for v2':
Substituting the given values:
The speed of metal block B is 5 m/s after the collision
