Hello!
Use the formula for kinetic energy:
Plug in the given mass and velocity:
Simplify:
Answer:
A. Kindly find attached free body diagram for your reference (smiles I guess I will make a terrible artist)
B. The collision is inelastic because both the husband and the wife moved together with same velocity as he grabs her on the waist
C. The general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf
Say mass of husband is m1
Mass of the wife is m2
Velocity of the husband is v1
Velocity of the wife is v2
According to the conservation of momentum principle momentum before impact m1v1+m2v2 =momentum after impact Common velocity after impact (m1+m2)vf
The momentum equation is
m1v1+m2v2= (m1+m2)vf
D. To solve for vf we need to make it subject of formula
vf= {(m1v1) +(m2v2)}/(m1+m2)
E. Substituting our given data
vf=
{(1570*58)+(2550*54)}/(1570+2558)
vf=91060+137700/4120
vf=228760/4120
vf=55.52m/s
Their speed after collision is 55.52m/s
