An object of mass 2 kg moving with a velocity of 5 km/s collides and sticks to a stationarywooden block ofmass 5kg. Theyboth Move offtogether. Calculate the speed of thecombined object.​

Answer»

ed of the COMBINED object is V = 1.428 m/s.- Given:Mass of object, m1 = 2kgVelocity of object before collision, U1 = 5 m/sMass of wooden block, m2 = 5 kgVelocity of wooden block before collision, u2 = 0 (at rest)- According to the law of conservation of momentum :Total momentum before the collision = Total momentum after the collisionm1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2) X V2 x 5 + 5 x 0 = (2 + 5) x VV = 10 / 7 = 1.428 m/s
