Answer:

30m/s

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of momentum; it implies momentum before collision is same after collision hence

M1U1 +M2U2= M1V1 +M2V1

Since both objects comes to rest after collision it means the final velocity is 0 and this has been represented as V1; hence the right side of the equation evaluates to zero.

We can then rewrite the equation as;M1U1 +M2U2=0

Let U1 and U2 be the respective velocity for M1 =30kg and M2= 50kg respectively.

Hence the equation becomes on substituting M1,M2 and U1.

We have;

30×5 + 50×U2 = 0

150 +50U2=0

50U2 = -150

U2= -150/50 = -30m/s

Ignore the -ve sign which shows the direction of the 50kg mass was opposite that of 30kg

I think its [B]
Personally i would say [B] only because If you are looking beyond the car in front of you..... then what if the car in front of you throws on breaks... you would hit them in the butt because you weren't paying attention to the car.
And majority of the time if your looking in the lanes beside you then you are most likely trying to get in that lane.
