Question

A mass of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s when it collides with another mass of 2 kg moving in the same direction at 2 m/s. After the collision they become bonded together. What is the final velocity of the two masses together? 2.22 m/s

6.23 m/s

3.56 m/s

4.14 m/s

Answer 1

4.14 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

m¹u¹+m²u²=(m¹+m²)v

5(5)+2(2)=(5+2)v

25+4=7v

29=7v

29/7=v

v=4.14 m/s
