a 7 kg object moving 10 m/s Right collides with a 14 kg object at rest. If after the collision the 7kg object is at rest and the 14 kg object is moving, what is the velocity of the 14 kg object after the collision?

Answer:

v2(final)=5 m/s

Explanation:

we are going to use the conservation of momentum here

m1*v1(initial)+m2*v2(initial)=m1*v1(final)+m2v2(final)

m1=7 kg  v1(initial)=10 m/s

m2=14 kg  v2(initial)=0 m/s (bc initially it is at rest)

v1(final)= 0 m/s (m1 stops moving after the collision)

v2(final)=?

7*10+14*0=7*0+14*v2(final)

70=14v2(final)

v2(final)=70/14 m/s=5 m/s
