Forces And Motion
Momentum
Definition Momentum = Mass × Velocity
p = mv
mu mv 2mu 2mv
Total momentum before explosion
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after explosion
= Total momentum after collision = Zero
Question Solution
Object P of mass 6 kg moves horizontally with m1 u1 + m2 u2 = m1 v1 + m2 v2
velocity 6 m s−1 and collides with object Q of 6 × 6 + 2 × 4 = 6 × 4 + 2v2
mass 2 kg, moving with velocity 4 m s−1 in the Velocity of object Q, v2 = 10 m s−1
same direction. After collision, the velocity of
object P is 4 m s−1.
What is the velocity of object Q?
