3.00 kg block moving 2.09 m/s right hits a 2.22 kg block moving 3.92 m/s left. afterwards, the 3.00 kg block moves 1.71 m/s left. find the velocity of the 2.22 kg block afterwards

Momentum is conserved, so the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision. Take the right direction to be positive. Then

(3.00 kg) (2.09 m/s) + (2.22 kg) (-3.92 m/s) = (3.00 kg) (-1.71 m/s) + (2.22 kg) v

where v is the velocity of the 2.22 kg block after collision. Solve for v :

6.27 kg•m/s - 8.70 kg•m/s = -5.13 kg•m/s + (2.22 kg) v

(2.22 kg) v = 2.70 kg•m/s

v = (2.70 kg•m/s) / (2.22 kg)

v ≈ 1.22 m/s

i.e. a velocity of about 1.22 m/s to the right.

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
