Answer:

v = 15 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of linear momentum, which tells us that momentum is equal to the product of mass by Velocity.

[tex]P=m*v[/tex]

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass = 2 [kg]

v = velocity = 15 [m/s]

[tex]P=2*15\\P=30 [kg*m/s][/tex]

Since we know that momentum is conserved, that is, all momentum is transferred to the second body, we can determine the velocity of the second body, since the mass is equal to that of the first body.

[tex]30=2*v\\v = 30/2\\v = 15 [m/s][/tex]
