Two objects of masses 100 g and 200 g are moving along the same line and direction with velocities of 2 m s-1 and 1 m s-1, respectively. They collide and after the collision, the first object moves at a velocity of 1.67 m s-1. Determine the velocity of the second object.
In this question we will use conservation of momentum :
Initial momentum = Final momentum
or
or
or
Hence required velocity is 1.165 m/s.
