A 250-g block is coasting at 1.5 m/s and collides head-on with another block that is at rest. Right after collision, the two blocks are locked together, traveling at 0.5 m/s. Is the second block heavier than the first block? Justify your answer.

the area between the graph and the t axis

truck y has a greater velocity than truck x.

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
