Question

Two rocks collide with each other in outer space, far from all other objects. Rock 1 with mass 5 kg has velocity <39, 45, -20> m/s before the collision and <-10, 49, -5> m/s after the collision. Rock 2 with mass 2 kg has velocity <-9, 5, 16> m/s before the collision. Calculate the final velocity of rock 2. (Express your answer in vector form.)

Step 1

Given: Mass of rock 1, \(m_1 = 5 \, \text{kg}\) Initial velocity of rock 1, \(v_{1i} = <39, 45, -20> \, \text{m/s}\) Initial momentum of rock 1, \(p_{1i} = m_1 \cdot v_{1i}\) \(p_{1i} = 5 \cdot <39, 45, -20>\) \(p_{1i} = <195, 225, -100>\) Show more…
