Physics

To solve this problem, we can use the principle of conservation of momentum.

 

Given:

Mass of the first object:

Initial velocity of the first object: (unknown)

Mass of the second object:

Initial velocity of the second object: (opposite direction)

Final velocity of both objects after the collision:

 

Apply Conservation of Momentum

The total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.
