A strong man is compressing a lightweight spring between two weights. One weight has a mass of 2.3 kgkg , the other a mass of 5.3 kgkg . He is holding the weights stationary, but then he loses his grip and the weights fly off in opposite directions. The lighter of the two is shot out at a speed of 6.0 m/sm/s .

A strong man is compressing a lightweight spring between two weights. One weight has a mass of 2.3 kgkg , the other a mass of 5.3 kgkg . He is holding the weights stationary, but then he loses his grip and the weights fly off in opposite directions. The lighter of the two is shot out at a speed of 6.0 m/sm/s .What is the speed of the heavier weight?

Explanation:

Given data

First weight mass m₁=2.3 kg

Second weight mass m₂=5.3 kg

Lighter weight speed v₁i= -6.0 m/s

To find

Heavier weight velocity v₂f

Solution

From law of conservation of momentum

the answer is b

explanation:

answer: its c lololo
