Question 1 Report

A body of mass 18kg moving with velocity 4ms-1 collides with another body of mass 6kg moving in the opposite direction with velocity 10ms-1. If they stick together after the collision, find their common velocity.
Answer Details

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v


m1 = 18kg, m2 = 6kg, u1 = 4ms-1, u2 = -10m/s


18(4) + 6(-10) = (18+6)v


72 - 60 = 24v
12 = 24v
v = 12
