Answer:

5.2m/s

Explanation:

Mass, m1 = 4kg

m2= 16kg

Velocity before collision for mass 1, u1 = 10m/s

Velocity before collision for mass 2, u2 = 4m/s.

Velocity after collision, V = ?

From law of conservation of linear momentum

Sum of momentum before collision = sum of momentum after collision.

Remember momentum = mass x velocity

Therefore,

m1u1 +m2u2 = (m1 + m2)V

4x10 + 16x4 = (4+16)V

40+64 = 20V

20V= 104/20

Divide both sides by 20

V = 104/20

V = 5.2m/s
