Well most of the particles did pass through and a few were deflected. but i think the answer is A
Because polymers are covalently bonded material, and metals are metalicly bonded material.
Covalent bonds do not let atoms exchange electrons like metalic bonds do.
The initial momentum of the system can be expressed as,
The final momentum of the system can be given as,
According to conservation of momentum,
Plug in the known expressions,
Initially, the second mass move towards the first mass therefore the initial speed of second mass will be taken as negative and the recoil velocity of first mass is also taken as negative.
Plug in the known values,
Thus, the final velocity of second mass is 2.99 m/s.
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.
