An object has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg. It crashes into another object that has a mass of 100 kg, and the two objects stick together. If the momentum is conserved, what is the new velocity of the combined object? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Sagot :

Answer:

18.60  m/s

Explanation:

Original momentum = mv = 4000        with m = 115    

after collision   m = 115 + 100 = 215 kg

  but the total momentum is still the same (conserved)

          4000 = 215 v      shows v = 18.60 m/s
