The key to solve this problem is the conservation of momentum. The momentum of an object is defined as the product between the mass and the velocity, and it's usually labelled with the letter 
:
The total momentum is the sum of the momentums. The initial situation is the following:
(it's not written explicitly, but I assume that the 5-kg object is still at the beginning).
So, at the beginning, the total momentum is
At the end, we have
(the mass obviously don't change, the new velocity of the 15-kg object is 1, and the velocity of the 5-kg object is unkown)
After the impact, the total momentum is
Since the momentum is preserved, the initial and final momentum must be the same. Set an equation between the initial and final momentum and solve it for 
, and you'll have the final velocity of the 5-kg object.

Answer:
The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.
Explanation:
" law of conservation of energy"
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form of energy into another.This mean that a system always has a same account of a energy,unless it is added from the outside.This is particularly confusing in the case of non conversation forces,where energy is converted from ,mechanical energy into thermal energy.but the overall energy does remain the same.The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.
The amount of energy in any system than it is determined by the following equation.
Ut=Ui +W+Q
- Ut is the total internal energy of a system.
- Ui is the initial internal energy of a system.
- W is the work done by or on the system.
- Q is the heat added to or removed by the system.
It is also possible to determined the change in internal energy of the system using the equation.
ΔU=W+Q
The mechanical energy of a system increases provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.The energy would transform to kinetic energy when the speed is increasing.Te mechanical energy of a system remain constant provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.
The law of conversation of energy which say that in a closed system total energy is conserved that is it constant.
KE1 + PE1=KE2+PE2
Answer:
A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.
Explanation:
- The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
- Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
- In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
- So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.
