Homework Statement
Im not sure if I did this problem correctly, can someone please reassure me?!
Homework Equations
Conservation of Linear momentum
pf=pi
m1v1=m2v2
The Attempt at a Solution
M(initial)=100,000 kg
M(final)= 100,000kg-15,000kg= 85,000kg
V(initial)=20.0m/s
V(final)=?
P(initial)=P(final)
m1v1=m2v2
(100,000)(20.0)=(85,000)(vf)
vf=23.53 m/s
did i do this correctly?
