Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of motion states that the change in velocity of an object is proportional to the force acting upon it, divided by its mass.
Given:
m₁ = 1.6 kg
v₁ = 4.6 m/s
m₂ = 22 kg
v₂ = 0
The force acting on the system is equal to the mass of the ball multiplied by its initial velocity, so F = m₁v₁ = (1.6 kg)(4.6 m/s) = 7.36 kgm/s.
Using the equation of motion:
Δv = F/m
v₂ = F/m₂ = (7.36 kgm/s)/(22 kg) = 0.335 m/s
