Physics

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide ina one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words,they stick together after the collision and move off with a commonvelocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that ismoving initially is 22 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.2and 8.0 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object systemafter the collision for the case (a) when thelarge-mass object is the one moving initially and the case(b) when the small-mass object is the one movinginitially.

(a) vf =  


(b) vf =
