Answer:
M1 V1 = M1 V2 + M2 V3 conservation of momentum
V2 = (M1 V1 - M2 V3) / M1 where V2 = speed of M1 after impact
V2 = (3 * 9 - 1.5 * 5) / 9 = (27 - 7.5) / 9 = 2.17 m/s
Note: All speeds are in the same direction and have the same sign

passenger airliner cruising at 450 miles per hour.
Given:
Height of tank = 8 ft
and we need to pump fuel weighing 52 lb/
to a height of 13 ft above the tank top
Solution:
Total height = 8+13 =21 ft
pumping dist = 21 - y
Area of cross-section =
=
=16

Now,
Work done required = 
= 
= 832
)
= 113152
= 355477 ft-lb
Therefore work required to pump the fuel is 355477 ft-lb
