Answer:

v = 10 [m/s]

Explanation:

The largest mass is that of 4 [kg], in this way the momentum can be calculated by means of the product of the mass by velocity.

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

where:

P = momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass = 4 [kg]

v = velocity = 5 [m/s]

Now the momentum:

[tex]P=4*5\\P=20[kg*m/s][/tex]

This same momentum is equal for the other mass, in this way we can find the velocity.

[tex]P=m*v\\20=2*v\\v=10[m/s][/tex]
