A body of mass 2kg moving with velocity of 5m/s collides with a stationary body of mas 500g. if the two bodies move together after impact. calcalate the magnitude of their common velocity

8 answers

Given;
M1=2kg
U1=5m/s
M2=500g=0.5kg
U2=0m/s
V=V1+V2m/s
According to conservation of momentem,
M1U1+M2U2=M1V+M2V
M1U1+M2U2=V(M1+M2)
2*5+0.5*0=V(2+0.5)
10=V(2.5)
V=10/2.5
=4m/s
ie;V=4m/s
correct.also if were moving in opposite direction before collision.
