Problem related to collision which is completely inelastic


Box 1, mass m1 = 43.3 kg, is sliding on a horizontal, frictionless table at speed v10 = 5.58 m/s when it collides head-on with a second identical box at rest.

a) Find vcm 0, the speed of the center of mass of this system before the collision.

b) If the collision is completely inelastic, find v, the speed of the two boxes after the collision.

c) If the collision is completely elastic, find v1 and v2, the speed of each box after the collision.

For box 1: m/s
For box 2: m/s
