ole 6tzjho6uv; v-k21 3.0$ms^{-1}$ collides horizontally with a stationary box of mass 2m ,After the collision, the object and the box move together.
The friction acting on the box and the object is 6.0N.
Which expression gives total distance travelled by the combined objects before coming to rest after the collision?
A. $\frac{m}{16}$
B. $\frac{m}{12}$
C. $\frac{m}{8}$
D. $\frac{m}{4}$
参考答案:
A

Explanation:
By using the principle of conservation of momentum, the combined velocity v of the object and the box can be found.
The total momentum of the object and the box before the collision = 3m
The total momentum of the object and the box after the collision = (2m+m)v=3mv
3m=3mv
1.0 ms−1=v
Using conservation of energy
Initial kinetic energy of the system = 21mv2=21(3m)12=1.5m
Final kinetic energy of the system = 0
Therefore work doen by friction is
W=23m
W=Fs
23m=6s
s=4m
