A small block of mass 20.0 grams is moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 0.68 m/s. The block has a head-on elastic collision with a 40.0 gram block that is initially at rest. Since the collision is head-on, all velocities lie along the same line, both before and after the collision.(a) What is the speed of the 20.0 gram block after the collision?(b) What is the speed of the 40.0 gram block after the collision?

a)

b)

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the lighter block,

velocity of the lighter block,

mass of the heavier block,

velocity of the heavier block,

a)

Using conservation of linear momentum:

where:

final velocity of the lighter block

final velocity of the heavier block

........................(1)

Since kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collision:

divide the above equation by eq. (1)

.............................(2)

now we substitute the value of v from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

(negative sign denotes that the direction is towards left)

b)

now we substitute the value of v' from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.

the total distance traveled by the car is

30km + 49km = 79 km .
