Answer :
Answer:
Final velocity will be equal to 0.321 m/sec
Explanation:
We have given mass of clay model of lion [tex]m_1=0.225kg[/tex]
Its speed is 0.85 m/sec, so [tex]v_1=0.85m/sec[/tex]
Mass of another clay model [tex]m_2=0.37kg[/tex]
It is given that second clay is motionless
So its velocity [tex]v_2=0m/sec[/tex]
Now according to conservation of momentum
Momentum before collision will be equal to momentum after collision
So [tex]m_1v_!+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v[/tex], here v is velocity after collision
So [tex]0.225\times 0.85+0.37\times 0+(0.225+0.37)v[/tex]
[tex]0.595v=0.191[/tex]
v = 0.321 m/sec
So final velocity will be equal to 0.321 m/sec
