Q:-What is speed????

1 answer:

5 0

Explanation:

In everyday use and in kinematics, the speed of an object is the magnitude of the rate of change of its position with time or the magnitude of the change of its position per unit of time; it is thus a scalar quantity.

SI unit: m/s, m s−1

s=d/t

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initiall

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object $m=2\ kg$

Speed of object $u=5\ m/s$

Mass of object at rest $M=3\ kg$

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

$\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s$

Initial kinetic energy

$k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J$

Final kinetic energy

$k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J$

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.
