Question 20 (1 point) v=(m1v1+m2v2)/(m1+m2) A 2kg object moving at 5m/s collides head-on with a stationary 3kg object. If the collision is perfectly inelastic (objects stick together), what is the final velocity of the combined system? 2m/s 5m/s 10m/s d 3.5m/s

Respuesta

The final velocity of the combined system is .

Explicación

## Step 1: Identify the given values:- Mass of the first object, - Velocity of the first object, - Mass of the second object, - Velocity of the second object, (since it is stationary)## Step 2:Apply the conservation of momentum formula for a perfectly inelastic collision:### ## Step 3:Substitute the given values into the formula:### ## Step 4:Calculate the final velocity:###
