Answer:
26.67 m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial sum of momentum equals the final sum.
p=mv where p is momentum, m is the mass of object and v is the speed of the object
Initial momentum
The initial momentum will be that of basketball and volleyball, Since basketball is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero
[tex]p_i= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*6+0.6*0=48 Kg.m/s[/tex]
Final momentum
[tex]p_f= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*4+0.6*v_v=32+0.6v Kg.m/s\\32+0.6v_v=48\\0.6v=16\\v_v=16/0.6=26.66666667\approx 26.67 m/s[/tex]
