A1.2 kg block slides along a frictionless surface at 1.2 m/s . a second block, sliding at a faster 4.4 m/s , collides with the first from behind and sticks to it. the final velocity of the combined blocks is 3.2 m/s .

2.0 kg

Explanation:

For a closed system, the momentum is always conserved. Momentum of an object is given by mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Momentum of the system before the collision is given by:

Momentum of the system after the collision is given by:

Mv where M is the combined mass of the 2 blocks as they stick together and v is the velocity.

As the momentum is conserved i.e momentum before collision and after collision is the same:

  the unit of the measure =

explanation:

  the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one.

  si unit of energy = joule (j)

  si unit of temperature = kelvin (k)

  si unit of mass of material = kilogram (kg)

the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one is called specific heat.

the unit of specific heat is
