oops fat fingers ...i have just been playing around with the formulae you provided and i can not get to to provide the rightanswer...i know it is me being dim...but can you explain the figures to me...if i subsiture Vo with 1200 and ms 3500 and mb 250 i get 80...confused

Hi SORRY TO BOTHER YOU AGAIN BUT U HAVE JUST BEEN PLAYING AROUND WIT THE FORUMLAE

also ...sorry to be a pain but how would you calculate the impact energy of 3500g body traveling at 120m/s

brilliant thank you

ok...thanks...so inorder to obtain a resultant velocity of 120m/s of the combined mass, would it be better to increase the mass of the smaller object or increase its velocity or both

Thanks for getting back to me... I am hoping that the resulting velocity will be in the region of 120m/s. Regarding the momentum...the 3500g body is stationary and impact from the 250g body is in a straight line...think of 2 balls...with the smaller one impacting the larger one dead centre

simple i know but i have just hit a blank. a projectile of mass 250g traveling at 1200m/s impacts and sticks to a stationary 3500g object. What will be the resulting velocity of the two combined objects... Many thanks
