2.A 4.0 kg magnetic toy car traveling at 3.0 m/s east collides and sticks to a 5.0 kg toy magnetic car also traveling at 2.0 m/s east. Calculate the final speed and direction of the magnetic car (coupled) system?

2.44 m/s due East

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of 1st car (m₁) = 4 Kg

Velocity of 1st car (u₁) = 3 m/s

Mass of 2nd car (m₂) = 5 Kg

Velocity of 2nd car (u₂) = 2 m/s

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity can be obtained as follow:

v(m₁ + m₂) = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

v(4 + 5) = (4×3) + (5×2)

9v = 12 + 10

9v = 22

Divide both side by 9

v = 22/9

v = 2.44 m/s

Thus, the final velocity is 2.44 m/s.

Since both cars was moving due East before collision, and after collision, they stick together, then their direction will be due East.
