QUESTION:

A \(1.80-\mathrm{kg}\) falcon catches a \(0.650-\mathrm{kg}\) dove from behind in midair. What is their velocity after impact if the falcon's velocity is initially \(28.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and the dove's velocity is \(7.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) in the same direction?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of  2

The velocity of the falcon and the dove after their impact in mid air can be found by using the principle of conservation of momentum which states that For a collision occurring between object1 and object2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.
