2 objects have a total momentum of 400kg m/s, they collide. Object A’s mass is5kg & object B’s mass is 11kg. After the collision Object B is moving at 15m/s.What is the velocity of Object A AFTER the collision?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision .

Momentum before collision = 400 kg m/s

Momentum after collision = 5  x v + 11 x 15

where v is velocity of A after the collision .

5  x v + 11 x 15 = 400

5 v = 400 - 165

5v = 235

v = 47 m /s .
