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?

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,
