Answer:

28.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed has two orthogonal components, horizontal and vertical. To decompose the speed into these components we can use these trigonometric equations:

Vh = V * cos(a)

Vv = V * sin(a)

The forwards velocity is the horizontal component, so we use

Vh = V * cos(a)

Vh = 50 * cos(55)

Vh = 50 * 0.57

Vh = 28.5 m/s

Momentum is conserved in a collision. Momentum is mass*velocity, so you can find your answer by calculating initial and final momentums and setting them equal to each other.

15kg * 3.50 m/s + 9kg * 2.35 m/s = 73.65 kg m/s

73.65 = 9 * 2.8 + 15x

solve for x
x= 3.23

The final velocity is 3.23 m/s
