A 4 column table with 3 rows. The first column is unlabeled with entries, Object 1, Object 2, Object 1 Object 2. The second column is labeled m in kilograms with entries 2.0, 6.0, 8.0. The third column is labeled v in meters per second with entries 4.0, 0 , 1.0. The last column is labeled p in kilogram meters per second with no entries. A set of data is collected for objects in an inelastic collision, as recorded in the table. To identify the momentum of Object 1, you must multiply and to find momentum. Object 1 had a momentum of kg ∙ m/s before the collision. Object 2 had a momentum of kg ∙ m/s before the collision. The combined mass after the collision had a total momentum of .

Answer:

Explanation:

To identify the momentum of Object 1 in an inelastic collision, you need to multiply its mass (m) by its velocity (v) using the formula for momentum:

From the table:

- Object 1 has a mass of 2.0 kg and a velocity of 4.0 m/s, so its momentum would be:

- Object 2 has a mass of 6.0 kg and a velocity of 0 m/s (which means it's at rest), so its momentum before the collision is:

- The combined mass after the collision is 8.0 kg (mass of Object 1 + mass of Object 2).

To find the total momentum of the combined mass after the collision, we need to consider the principle of conservation of momentum in an inelastic collision, which states that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.

Therefore, the total momentum of the combined mass after the collision would be:

So, the combined mass after the collision had a total momentum of 8.0 kg·m/s.
