a 2.0 kg object moving with a velocity of 5.0 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 3.0 kg object moving with a speed of 2.0 m/s in the same direction. what is the final velocity of the objects after the collision? a. 10.8 b. 3.2 c. 25.6 d. 4.4

Step 1
The momentum of an object is given by the equation p = mv, where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity. For the 2.0 kg object: p1 = m1 * v1 p1 = 2.0 kg * 5.0 m/s p1 = 10.0 kg·m/s For the 3.0 kg object: p2 = m2 * v2 p2 = 3.0 kg * 2.0 m/s p2 = Show more…

An object of mass 3.0 kg travelling at a speed of 6.0 m/s, collides with an object of mass 2.0 kg, travelling in the opposite direction at a speed of 2.0 m/s. The objects stick together during the collision. What is the speed and direction of the combined mass after the collision? A) 4.4 m/s to the left B) 4.4 m/s to the right

A 4.0-kg object moving at 5.0 m/s collides with and sticks to a 3.0-kg object. After the collision the composite object is moving at 2.0 m/s in a direction opposite to the initial direction of motion of the 4.0-kg object. Determine the speed of the 3.0-kg object before the collision.

A 100-kg object is moving to the right with a speed of 25 m/s collides with a 200-kg object moving to the left with a speed of 10 m/s. After the collision the object stick together and go off with a common velocity vf. Find the (a) velocity after the collision and (b) coefficient of restitution.
