QUESTION:

Problem 24PE

Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.200 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It runs into another clay model, which is initially motionless and has a mass of 0.350 kg. Both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. What is their final velocity?

ANSWER:

Solution 24PE

Step 1 of 5

The first clay model of a koala bear having the mass   moving with velocity  towards another clay sliding on ice and the second clay with mass of  is at rest . After the collision, the two clays are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Here we need to calculate the final velocity of that coupled clay .

Given data,

Mass of first clay,

Velocity of first clay,  

Mass of second clay,

Velocity of second clay,  

To find,

The final velocity of that coupled clay,
