Answer:
Answer is 183.6 J
Explanation:
Using the Physics reference sheet the formula for Potential energy is
(mass) x (gravity) x (height)
Mass= 1.2
Gravity I used is 9.81 (use 10 to get the answer most schools use)
Height= 15.6
Answer= 8m/s
Because total Momentum before= total momentum after
Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48
Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u
Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s
