The chart show the masses and velocities of two colliding objects that stick together after a collision.



According to the law of conservation of momentum, what is the momentum of the object after the collision?

4,500 g · m/s
1,750 g · m/s
1,500 kg · m/s
3,000 kg · m/s

Respuesta :

The momentum of the object after the collision is  1500 kg. m/s.

What is conservation of momentum principle?

When two bodies of different masses move together each other and have head on collision, they travel to same or different direction after collision.

The external force is not acting here, so the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. In inelastic collision, after the collision, the two objects are stick together and final velocity is the common velocity for both the bodies.

Given is the chart show the masses and velocities of two colliding objects that stick together after a collision.

Object        Mass (kg)           Velocity (m/s)

A                   200                      15

B                     150                    - 10

Using the conservation of momentum principle, we have

m₁u₁ +m₂u₂ =(m₁ +m₂) v = Pf

Substitute the values, then the momentum after collision will be

200x15 +150x(-10) =Pf

Pf = 1500 kg. m/s

Thus, the  momentum after collision is 1500 kg. m/s.
