A large box slides across a frictionless surface with a velocity of 12 m/s and a mass of 4
kg, collides with a smaller box with a mass of 2 kg that is stationary. The boxes stick
together. What is the velocity of the two combined masses after collision?
8 m/s
O m/s
12 m/s
4 m/s
us 12:18

Respuesta :

Answer= 8m/s

Because total Momentum before= total momentum after

Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48

Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u


Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s
