The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision. To find the velocity we use Law of conservation of linear momentum. Given velocity v1= 36kmph = 36*5/18 = 10m/s M1v1 + m2 v2 = (m1+m2)v 9000*10 + 0 = (9000+9000)v V = 5m/s

Use conservation Law of linear momentum , Pi = Pf Pi = initial momentum = mV Pf = final momentum = ( m + m) V1 so, mV = ( m + m )V1 V1 = V/2 = 36/2 = 18 km/h speed after collision = 18 km/h this is an example of enelastic collision in this collision , energy not conserved , eg loss

Convert 36km/ h in m/s i.e 10 m/s. 9000(10)+9000(0)= (9000+9000)×u 90000+0= 18000u u = 90000/18000 U= 5 m/s Perfectly inelastic collision

Using Principle of Conservation of Momentum, P1=P2, ie, M1V1=M2V2=> (9000+0)*36 = (9000+9000)*V2=> 18 = V2Therefore, Velocity of joint carriage after the collision is 18 kmph. The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision.

Sameer went on his bike from Delhi to Gurgaon at a speed of 60km/hr and came back at a speed of 40km/hr. What is his average speed for entire journey?
To find the average speed, you need to know the formula of average speed. The avg speed 0= 2 d / (t1+ t2) = 2 v1.v2/(V1 + V2). Just substitute the value.
