Answer :
The final velocity of the 14 kg object is 1.6 m/s in the same direction
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision. Therefore, we can write
[tex]p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2[/tex]
where:
[tex]m_1 = 14 kg[/tex] is the mass of the first object
[tex]u_1 = 5.0 m/s[/tex] is the initial velocity of the first object
[tex]v_1[/tex] is the final velocity of the first object
[tex]m_2 = 8.0 kg[/tex] is the mass of the second object
[tex]u_2 = 3.0 m/s[/tex] is the initial velocity of the second object
[tex]v_2 = 9.0 m/s[/tex] is the final velocity of the second object
Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find:
[tex]v_1 = \frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 - m_2 v_2}{m_1}=\frac{(14)(5.0)+(8.0)(3.0)-(8.0)(9.0)}{14}=1.6 m/s[/tex]
And the direction is the same as the initial direction, since it has the same sign.
