Momentum and CollisionHard

Question

Three interacting particles of masses 100g, 200g, and 400g each have a velocity of 20m/s magnitude along the positive direction of x – axis y-axis and z-axis. Due to force interaction third particle stops moving. The velocity of the second particle is (10ĵ + 5), What is the velocity of the particle ?

Options

A.20î + 20ĵ + 70
B.10î + 20ĵ + 8
C.30î + 10ĵ + 7
D.15î + 5ĵ + 60

Solution

Initial momentum = m1 + m2 + m3 = 2î + 4ĵ + 8
When the third particle stop the final momentum = m1 + m2 + m3 = 0.1 + 0.2(10ĵ + 5) +
By principle of conservation momentum 0.1 + 2ĵ + = 2î + 4ĵ + 8 ; = 20î + 20ĵ + 70
