Given that,
Mass of trackler, m₁ = 100 kg
Speed of trackler, u₁ = 2.6 m/s
Mass of halfback, m₂ = 92 kg
Speed of halfback, u₂ = -5 m/s (direction is opposite)
To find,
Mutual speed immediately after the collision.
Solution,
The momentum of the system remains conserved in this case. Let v is the mutual speed after the collision. Using conservation of momentum as :
So, the mutual speed immediately after the collision is 1.04 m/s but in opposite direction.
Answer:
Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s
Explanation:
Let the momentum of the two balls be A and B respectively.
Momentum A = 16 kgm/s
Momentum B = 0 kgm/s (since the ball is at rest).
Total momentum = A + B
Total momentum = 16 + 0
Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
