A 0.24 kg mass with a speed of 0.60 m/s has a head-on collision with a 0.26 kg mass that is traveling in the opposite direction

at a speed of 0.20 m/s. Assuming that the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the final speed of the combined masses?

The  final speed of the combined masses is 0.186m/s

According to the law of collision, the sum of the momentum of the bodies before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision.

Mathematically;

m1u1 - m2u2 = (m1+m1)v

  • v is the final speed of the combined masses.

Substituting the given parameters;

0.24(0.6) - 0.26(0.2) = (0.24+0.26)v

0.144 - 0.052 = 0.5v

0.092 = 0.5v

v = 0.092/0.5

v = 0.184m/s

Hence the final speed of the combined masses is 0.186m/s

iren [92.7K]
The frequency doesn't change. If the wavespeed increases, then the wavelength must also increase ... It's just the distance the wave travels during each complete wiggle.

Two parakeets sit on a swing with their combined center of mass 10.0 cm below the pivot. At what frequency do they swing?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

1.58 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of the simple pendulum is given by

f = 1/T

 = 1/2π√g/l  

In this problem, I = 10.0 cm = 0.1 m  

f = 1/2π√9.8/0.1

=  1.58 Hz
