Question
Two balls with masses 3 kg and 2 kg move toward each other, collide head-on, and stick together after the collision (a perfectly inelastic collision). Before the collision the 3-kg ball moves with a speed of 5 m/s and the 2-kg ball moves with a speed of 10 m/s. Neglect friction. See the figure above.
What is the velocity of the balls after the collision?
a. |
-2 m/s |
|
b. |
-1 m/s |
|
c. |
3 m/s |
|
d. |
