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 metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
