A 1.5kg block slides along a frictionless surface at 1.3m/s . A second block, sliding at a faster 4.3m/s , collides with the first from behind and sticks to it. The final velocity of the combined blocks is 2.0m/s . What was the mass of the second block?

Answer:

The mass of the second block=0.457 kg

Explanation:

We are given that

m1=1.5 kg

v1=1.3m/s

v2=4.3 m/s

V=2.0 m/s

We have to find the mass of the second block.

[tex]m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V[/tex]

Let m2=m

Substitute the values

[tex]1.5(1.3)+m(4.3)=(1.5+m)(2)[/tex]

[tex]1.95+4.3m=3+2m[/tex]

[tex]4.3m-2m=3-1.95[/tex]

[tex]2.3m=1.05[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{1.05}{2.3}[/tex]

[tex]m=0.457 kg[/tex]

Hence,  the mass of the second block=0.457 kg
