It is a surface force
<span />
The answer of speed is 4.5m/s
The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed.
Equating momentum before and after collision:
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.
Power can be calculate through the equation,
Power = Force x velocity
It should be noted that velocity is calculated by dividing displacement by time. Thus, from the given in this item we can calculate for the power.
Power = (120 lb) x (12 ft/9 s)
<em> </em><span><em>Power = 160 lb.ft/s</em></span>
