Consider the collision pictured below. While m2=10kg is initially at rest, horizontally moving m1=5kg with a speed of v1=14.9m/s collides with it. After the collision, the two masses scatter with speeds of v1′=8.3m/s and v′2. If θ1=38o, determine the speed of m2 after the collision, v2′=?. Express your answer in units of m/sm/s with one decimal place.

Question

Consider the collision pictured below. While m2=10kg is initially at rest, horizontally moving m1=5kg with a speed of v1=14.9m/s collides with it. After the collision, the two masses scatter with speeds of v1′=8.3m/s and v′2. If θ1=38o, determine the speed of m2 after the collision, v2′=?. Express your answer in units of m/sm/s with one decimal place.

 

Note: Please note that we do not know whether or not this is an elastic collision.
