A9.00 kg mass is moving to the right with a velocity of 14.0 m/s. a 12.0kg mass is moving to the left with a velocity of 5.00 m/s. assuming that these two balls have a head on collision and stick together, what will be the final velocity of the combination?

3.143 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = 9 kg

u1 = 14 m/s

m2 = 12 kg

u2 = - 5 m/s

Let the velocity after the collision is V

By using the principle of conservation of momentum

Momentum of two bodies before collision = momentum of two bodies after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x V

9 x 14 - 12 x 5 = (9 + 12) x V

126 - 60 = 21 x V

V = 3.143 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the sticked bodies after the collision is given by 3.143 m/s.

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it
