A ball of clay is moving at a speed of 12 m/s collides and sticks to a stationary ball of clay. If each ball has a mass of 13 kg
1 answer:
Answer:
p_{f} = 6 m / s
Explanation:
We can solve this exercise using conservation of momentum. For this we define a system formed by the two balls, so that the forces during the collision have been intense and the moment is preserved
Initial instant. Before the crash
p₀ = m v +0
Final moment. Right after the crash
= (m + m) v_{f}
how the moment is preserved
p₀ = p_{f}
m v = 2 m v_{f}
v_{f} = v / 2
we calculate
v_{f} = 12/2
p_{f} = 6 m / s
