Answer: 40,000kg m/s option c)
Explanation:
Given data
m1= 2000kg
u1= 20m/s
m2= 1500kg
u2= 0m/s
v1= 10m/s
Required
The speed of the sticks
We know that from the expression for the conservation of momentum
m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2
2000*20+1500*0=2000*10+1500*v2
40000=20000+1500v2
collect like terms
40000-20000= 1500v2
20000= 1500v2
v2= 20000/1500
v2= 13.33 m/s
Hence the velocity of the sticks is 40,000kg m/s
I hope I helped!! ❤️
