Answer:
Explanation:
According to law of conservation of momentum;
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v
m1 ad m2 are the masses of the objects
u1 and u2 are their respective velocities
v is the common velocities
If their masses are the same, then m1 = m2 = m
u1 = 0.43m/s
m2 = 0m/s (body at rest)
Substitute and get v;
m(0.43) + m(0) = (m+m)v
0.43m = 2mv
0.43 = 2v
v = 0.43/2
v = 0.215m/s
Hence the final velocity of the inelastic collision is 0.215m/s
