Answer:
3.33m/s
Explanation:
Using the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v
m1 and m2 are the masses of the object
u1 and u2 are the velocities
v is the final velocity
Given
m1 = 50g
u1 = 10m/s
m2 = 100g
u2 = 0m/s (stationary ball)
Required
Common velocity v
Substitute
50(10) + 100(0) = (50+100)v
500 = 150v
v = 500/150
v = 3.33m/s
Hence the velocity of each ball immediately after the collision is 3.33m/s
