In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,
KE1 = KE2
The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.
KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²
This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.
KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)
The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.
Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.

<h2>
Speed with which it return to its initial level is 100 m/s</h2>
Explanation:
We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as
Initial velocity, u = 100 m/s
Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²
Final velocity, v = ?
Displacement, s = 0 m
Substituting
v² = u² + 2as
v² = 100² + 2 x -9.81 x 0
v² = 100²
v = ±100 m/s
+100 m/s is initial velocity and -100 m/s is final velocity.
Speed with which it return to its initial level is 100 m/s
<span>The two factors that act on parachutes are gravity and air resistance, which is also called drag. Gravity acts as a force to pull parachutes down to the surface of the Earth, while air resistance generates movement in the opposite direction of the falling parachute, and essentially pushes the parachute upward. hope this helps!:)</span>
