a 6.2 kg object heading north at 3.0 m/s collides with an 8.0 kg object heading west at 3.5 m/s. if these two masses stick together upon collision, what is their velocity after collision?



Answer :

The velocity of both objetcs after the collision is 3.07m/sec if both object masses are 6.2 kg and 8.0kg respectively.

To find the velocity of both objects we need to conserve the momentum. We need to follow the law of conservation of momentum which states that initial momentum is equal to final momentum.

Now, we know that momentum =mass × velocity

So, initial momentum of first object=6.2×3=18.6Kg-m/sec

Similarly, initial momentum of second object=8×3.5=28.0kg-m/sec

Now, it is given that both object stick together, so total mass of both objects are=(6.2+8)=14.2kg

Now, both objects are moving with common velocity, so assume both have velocity v

=>So, final momentum of both objects is =14.2×v

according to law of conservation of momentum

=>18.6+25=14.2v

=>43.6=14.2v

=>v=43.6/14.2

=>v=3.07m/sec

Hence, final velocity of objects are 3.07m/sec.
