The formula to calculate the collision speed is:
CS=|m1⋅v1+m2⋅v2m1+m2|
Where:
Let's say the mass of object 1 is 5 kg, its velocity is 3 m/s, the mass of object 2 is 10 kg, and its velocity is -2 m/s. Using the formula:
CS=|(5×3)+(10×−2)5+10|=|15−2015|=|−515|=0.33m/s
So, the collision speed is 0.33 m/s.
