The figure represents two bodies of masses 10 kg and 15 kg, moving with an initial velocity of 10 ms^-1 and 5 ms^-1 respectively. They collide with each other. After collision, they move with velocities 4 ms^-1 and 9 ms^-1 respectively. The time of collision is 2 s. Now calculate F₁ and F₂

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Acceleration of 10 kg mass =

Acceleration of 15 kg mass =

Where v is the final velocity,

u is the initial velocity,

t is the time taken.

Force on 15 kg mass,

F₁ = m₁a₁

= 15×2

= 30 N

Force on 10 kg mass,

F₂ = m₂a₂

= 10×(-3)

= -30 N
