Answer:
34.6 m/s
Explanation:
From conservation of momentum, the sum of initial and final momentum are equal. Momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Initial mass will be 42.8+31.5+25.9=100.2 kg
Final mass will be 31.5+25.9=57.4 kg
From formula of momentum
M1v1=m2v2
Making v2 the subject of the formula then
Substitute 100.2 kg for M1, 19.8 m/s fkr v1 and 57.4 kg for m2 then
