Question

Solve the equation. m_(1)v_(1i)+m_(2)v_(2i)=m_(1)v_(1f)+m_(2)v_(2f) for v_(2f) Where: m_(1)=6.3 m_(2)=9.4 v_(1i)=4 v_(2i)=-9.4 v_(1f)=-9.7

Answer 1

To solve for v2f in the equation m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f, isolate v2f by rearranging the equation as v2f = (m1v1i + m2v2i - m1v1f) / m2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f for v2f, we can rearrange the equation by isolating v2f on one side. Here's how:

m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f

m2v2f = m1v1i + m2v2i - m1v1f

v2f = (m1v1i + m2v2i - m1v1f) / m2
