TopicMomentum and Collisions

1 Two particles \(P\) and \(Q\), of masses 0.2 kg and 0.5 kg respectively, are at rest on a smooth horizontal plane. \(P\) is projected towards \(Q\) with speed \(2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  1. Write down the momentum of \(P\).
  2. After the collision \(P\) continues to move in the same direction with speed \(0.3 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). Find the speed of \(Q\) after the collision.
