in a collusion, a 15 kg object moving with a velocity of 3 m/s transfers all of its momentum to a 5 kg object. what would be the velocity of the 5 kg object after the collision

Answer :

Answer:

The velocity of 5 kg object is 9 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 15 kg

Velocity of object = 3 m/s

Mass of second object = 5 kg

We need to calculate the velocity of second object

Using conservation of momentum

[tex]m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}[/tex]

[tex]v_{2}=\dfrac{m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2}}[/tex]

Where, [tex]m_{1}[/tex]=mass of first object

[tex]m_{2}[/tex]=mass of second object

[tex]v_{1}[/tex]=velocity of first object

Put the value into the formula

[tex]v_{2}=\dfrac{15\times3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]v_{2}=9\ m/s[/tex]

Hence, The velocity of 5 kg object is 9 m/s.
