a 50 g ball of putty moving with a velocity of 3.0 m/s has an inelastic collision head-on with a stationary mass of 50g and sticks to it. find the velocity of the mass and putty after the collision.
The velocity of the 50g putty and 50g mass after collision can be calculated using the conservation of momentum equation, where the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. This means that the mass and velocity of both objects must be taken into account to determine the final velocity.
The velocity of the 50g putty and 50g mass may change after collision depending on the type of collision. In an elastic collision, both objects will bounce off each other with the same velocity, while in an inelastic collision, the objects will stick together and move with a combined velocity.
The velocity of the 50g putty and 50g mass after collision can be affected by factors such as the mass and initial velocity of the objects, the type of collision, and external forces such as friction or air resistance.
No, the velocity of the 50g putty and 50g mass cannot be calculated without knowing the mass of the objects. Mass is a crucial component in the conservation of momentum equation and is necessary to determine the final velocity.
The velocity of the 50g putty and 50g mass can be measured experimentally using tools such as a motion sensor or a high-speed camera. These tools can track the movement of the objects before and after collision and calculate their velocities.
