A bullet of mass m moving at a speed v hits a ball of mass M kept at rest. A small part having mass m' breaks from the ball and sticks to the bullet. The remaining ball is found to move at a speed v1 in the direction of the bullet. Find the velocity of the bullet after the collision. |

Answer» Thanks for asking the QUESTION! ANSWER:: Mass of the bullet = m Speed of bullet = v Mass of BALL = M Frictional mass from ball = m' Let velocity after collision = v₁ Using law of conservation of momentum , mv + 0 = (m' + m) v' + (M - m') v₁ (v' = final velocity of bullet + frictional mass) v' = [mv - (M + m')v₁] / (m + m') Hope it helps! |
