Hi there!

This is an example of a recoil collision.

Using the conservation of momentum:

p_i = p_f

The initial momentum is 0 kgm/s (objects start from rest), so:

p_f = 0

We are given that the 15 kg block has a velocity of 12 m/s to the left, so:

m_1v_1' + m_2v_2' = 0 \\\\15(-12) + 18v_2' = 0 \\\\

Solve for v2':

18v_2' = 180 \\\\v_2' = \boxed{10 m/s}

lesya [120]

Answer:

Explanation:

v = u +at

u = 0

a = 2.3 m /s²

t = 20 s

v = 2.3 x 20

= 46 m /s

Distance covered under acceleration of 2.3 m/s²

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 0 + .5 x 2.3 x 20²

= 460 m

After that it moves under free fall ie g acts on it downwards .

v² = u² - 2gh , h is height moved by it under free fall

0 = 46² - 2 x 9.8 h

h = 107.96 m

Total height attained

= 460 + 107.96

= 567.96 m

b ) At its highest point ,it stops so  its velocity = 0

c ) rocket's acceleration at its highest point = g = 9.8 downwards .

At highest  point , it is undergoing free fall so its acceleration  = g
