a 1.25 kg falcon catches a 0.275 kg dove from behind in midair. what is their velocity after impact if the falcon's velocity is initially 28.5 m/s and the dove's velocity is 5.95 m/s in the same direction?



Answer :

The velocity after impact if the falcon's velocity is initially 28.5 m/s and the dove's velocity is 5.95 m/s in the same direction is 23.58 m/s

What is the law of conservation of momentum?

Momentum is never created or destroyed inside a problem domain, according to the principle of momentum conservation. Momentum is only changed by the action of forces as Newton's equations of motion describe them.

Velocity after impact if the falcon's velocity is initially 28.5 m/s and the dove's velocity is 5.95 m/s in the same direction is 23.58 m/s.

Mass 1 = m₁ = 1.25 kg

Mass 2 = m₂ = 0.275 kg

Speed 1 = v₁ = 28.5 m/s

Speed 2 = v₂ = 5.95 m/s

Speed 3 = v₃ = ?

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v₃

v₃ = [m₁v₁ + m₂v₂] / (m₁ + m₂)

v₃ = [(1.25 x 28.5) + (1.25x 0.275)] / (1.25 + 0.275)

v₃ = [ 35.625 + 0.34375] / 1.525

v₃ = 35.96 / 1.525

= 23.58 m/s
