Answer:
v = 2.6 m/s
Explanation:
The question is incomplete because the diagram is not given in the question.
The diagram of this question is attached below.
According to the law of conversation of momentum.
mv(initial) = mv(final)
We can see in the diagram that:
mv(initial) = 3 × 0.17
mv(final) = mv₁(final) + mv₂(final)
Consider only the horizontal components of velocities, to compare them to initial velocity.
mv(final) = mv₁(final) + mv₂(final)
0.17 × 3 = (0.17)(v)(cos 30) + (0.17)(1.5)(cos 60)
0.51 = 0.1472v + 0.1275
0.3825 = 0.1472v
v = 2.6 m/s
