Answer:
(a). The final speed [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 0.085 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
(b). The speed after collision [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 0.15 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]m_{1}[/tex] = 0.6 kg
[tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 10 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
[tex]m_{2}[/tex] = 70 + 0.6 = 70.6 kg
(a). From conservation of momentum principal
[tex]m_{1}[/tex] [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = [tex]m_{2}[/tex] [tex]V_{2}[/tex]
0.6 × 10 = 70.6 × [tex]V_{2}[/tex]
[tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 0.085 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
This is the final speed.
(b). From conservation of momentum principal
0.6 × 10 = 0.6 × (-8) + 70 [tex]V_{2}[/tex]
70 [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 6 + 4.8
[tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 0.15 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
This is the speed after collision.
