A3-kilogram block slides along on a frictionless surface at 4 m/s north, and strikes an obstacle that exerts an impulse on the block of 6 n-s to the south. what is the speed of the block after the collision?

2 m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted by the obstacle on the block is equal to the change in momentum of the block:

where we put a negative sign because the direction of the impulse is south, which is opposite to the initial direction of travelling of the block (north).

The change in momentum is also equal to

where

m = 3 kg is the mass of the block

v is the final velocity

u = +4 m/s is the initial velocity

Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity of the block:

and the positive sign means the direction is still north.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

we have to simplify it

firstly, we will factor it

now, we can cancel like terms

now, we can combine it

so, we get

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.

hope this : d
