A 13.8 kg block is sliding along a frictionless surface with a speed of 95.7 m/s. It collides with a second block of mass 93.1 kg. The second block is initially at rest. After the collision, the first block has rebounded with a speed of 26.1 m/s. If this collision is one dimensional, what is the speed in (m/s) of the second block after the collision

Question

A 13.8 kg block is sliding along a frictionless surface with a speed of 95.7 m/s. It collides with a second block of mass 93.1 kg. The second block is initially at rest. After the collision, the first block has rebounded with a speed of 26.1 m/s. If this collision is one dimensional, what is the speed in (m/s) of the second block after the collision?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given 

Mass of block 1 ,m1 = 13.8 kg 

Mass of block 2 ,m2 = 93.1 kg 

Initial speed of block 1 ,u1 = 95.7 m/s 

Initial speed of block 2, u2 = 0 m/s 

Final speed of block 1 ,v1 = 26.1 m/s (opposite direction)
