Question 1 Report

(a) A body of mass 3kg moves with a velocity of 8ms\(^{-1}\). It collides with a second body moving in the same direction with a velocity of 5ms\(^{-1}\). After collision, the bodies move together with a velocity of 6ms\(^{-1}\). Find the mass of the second body.

(b) If the second body in (a) moves with a velocity of 5ms\(^{-1}\) in the opposite direction as that of the 3kg body with a velocity of 8ms\(^{-1}\), find, correct to two decimal places, the common velocity of the two bodies if they move together after collision.
