Two lumps of clay approach each other from opposite directions and collide head on inelastically, combing into one large lump after they collide. the first lump has a mass of 0.140kg and has a speed of 3.50 m/s before the Collision. the second lump has a mass of 0.620kg and has a speed of 4.81 m/s before the collison in a direction opposite that of the first lump. what velocity does the combined lump have after the collision?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Before collision:

momentum to right = .14 * 3.5 = .49 kg m / s

momentum to left = .62 * 4.81 = 2.98 kg m / s

Total momentum = .49 - 2.98 = - 2.49 to left

M V = -2.49    net momentum to left

V = -2.49 / (.14 + .62) = -3.28 m/s to left
