Lab: Conservation of Linear Momentum

Question 104778 • 26-27 TX-Physics B-CR

Projectiles that strike objects are good examples of inelastic collisions. A 0.1 kg nail driven by a gas powered nail driver collides in an inelastic collision with a 10 kg block of wood at rest. The total momentum of the system after the collision is 4.8 kg · m/s. Round your answers to two significant digits. The velocity of the nail and block after the collision is calculated to be m/s. The expected velocity of the nail prior to the collision is m/s.
