A body of mass 80kg moving with a velocity of 6m/s hits a stationary body
of mass of 40kg. If the two bodies stick after the impact, calculate their
common velocity.


Sagot :

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum ,  mv

Before collision  80 kg * 6 m/s  = 480  kg-m/s  

   after the collision,

         the momentum is the same but the mass is 80+40 kg =120 kg

 mv = 480

120 * v = 480

v = 4 m/s
