An object has a mass of 2kg moving to the right with velocity of 12m/s and collides head on with a stationary object whose mass is 6kg. The collision is perfect elastic so what is the final velocity of the 2kg object and if the final velocity of 6kg object is 6m/s to the right?
How do i solve and use the formulas in the pic
If the total momentum of a particle system is changing with time then we can state that:
a) The center of mass must have constant velocity.
b) a net external force with magnitude not zero must be acting on the system.
c) the system must be under the influence of gravity.
d) the particles of the system must be exerting internal forces between them.
Two objects get pushed by the same magnitude of force. One object is 10x more massive. How does the rate of change of momentum for the more massive object compare with the less massive one? Please be able to explain why in terms of a quantitative statement found in the chapter.
