Impulse & MomentumHardQuestion 5436
Question
Two bodies (4 kg at 3 m/s and 6 kg at 2 m/s in opposite directions) collide and stick. Velocity after collision:
- A0 m/sCorrect
- B0.5 m/s (dir of 4 kg)
- C0.5 m/s (dir of 6 kg)
- D1 m/s
Correct answer
0 m/s
Explanation
Taking 4 kg direction positive: p = 4×3 − 6×2 = 12 − 12 = 0. v = 0/(10) = 0 m/s.
