In a collision, a 5 kg mass moving at 2m/s transfers all of its momentum to a 1 kg mass. what is the velocity of the 1kg mass after the collision? will give brainliest

3.67m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of momentum of bodies after collision. This bodies moves with a common velocity after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity

For the 5kg ball with velocity of 2m/s;

Its momentum = 5×2 = 10kgm/s²

For the 1kg body;

It's momentum = 10kgm/s (since the 5kg mass transfers all of its momentum to a 1 kg mass.)

Momentum after collision of the bodies will give;

Momentum = (5kg+1kg)v where v is their common velocity.

Momentum after collision = 6v

Using the law of conservation of momentum;

10+10 = 6v

20 = 6v

v = 20/6

v = 3.67m/s

Since both masses have the same velocity after collision, the velocity of the 1kg mass after the collision will also be 3.67m/s
