Question

45. A 3-kg object is moving toward the right at 6 m/s. A 5-kg object moves to the left at 4 m/s. After the two objects collide completely elastically, the 3-kg object moves toward the left at 2 m/s. Find the final velocity of the 5-kg object.

Step 1

The momentum of an object is given by the product of its mass and velocity. The initial momentum of the 3-kg object moving to the right is given by: Momentum_3_initial = mass_3 * velocity_3_initial = 3 kg * 6 m/s = 18 Show more…
