Q7
i know that for the first part of the question we apply newton's 2nd law.
sum of forces in the direction of motion-sum of forces in opposite to motion=mass*acceleration
-(0.12)=0.15*a a=-0.8. v=3+(2*-0.8)=1.4 m/s
The block decelerates causing the speed to decrease from 3 m/s till 1.4 m/s. at speed 1.4 m/s the block hits the wall and rebounds. why when the block rebounds it has the same deceleration when it first approached to the wall?
