An object of the mass 150kg moving at 20m/s collides with a stationary object of mass 90kg.They couple after collision
.Determine the :
i).Total momentum before collision
ii) Total momentum after collision
iii) Their common velocity after collision

Answer Text:
i).m1v1 +m2u2
#(150times20)+90times0#
3000kgm/s
ii).(150+90)
240vkgm/s
iii)3000 = 240
v =12.5 m/s
