ball A has a mass of 5.0 kg. ball B has twice the mass of ball A. The Two balls collide and stick together in a perfectly inelastic collision. after the collision the combined balls are at rest. if the velocity of ball A before the collision was 13 m/s, what was the velocity of ball B before the collision?
A. 6.5
B. -6.5 m/s
C. 26 m/s
D. -13 m/s
E. 0.0 m/s

Respuesta :

Ma.Va + Mb.Vb = (Ma+Mb)Vc
Vc=0
(5)(13) + (10)(Vb) = 0
65+10Vb = 0
Vb = -65/10
Vb = -6.5m/s

Answer = B
