An object of mass 3.00 kg, moving with an initial velocity of 5.05 m/s, collides with and sticks to an object of mass 2.76 kg with an initial velocity of -3.66 m/s. Find the final velocity of the composite object.

0.752 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = 3.00kg

u1 = 5.05m/s

m2 = 2.76kg

u2 = -3.66m/s

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

3(5.05) + 2.76(-3.66) = (5.05+2.76)v

15.15 - 9.2736 = 7.81v

5.8764 = 7.81v

v = 5.8764/7.81

v = 0.752m/s

according to jean piaget, in what stage of cognitive development are children able to understand conservation task?
