Idealised instantaneous velocity changes: check 1
Difficulty: ★★☆Info
Maths4U Original · Short practice
A particle moves right at \(\displaystyle \frac{11m}{s}\) for 4 s. An idealised instantaneous collision reverses its velocity to \(\displaystyle - \frac{4m}{s}\), after which it moves uniformly for 5 s. The collision has zero duration in this model and position remains continuous. Positive is right.
Find the signed velocity change at the collision, in m/s.
Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. Use the requested units and positive direction; enter the number without its unit. Angles here use degrees. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
