The key to solve this problem is the conservation of momentum. The momentum of an object is defined as the product between the mass and the velocity, and it's usually labelled with the letter 
:
The total momentum is the sum of the momentums. The initial situation is the following:
(it's not written explicitly, but I assume that the 5-kg object is still at the beginning).
So, at the beginning, the total momentum is
At the end, we have
(the mass obviously don't change, the new velocity of the 15-kg object is 1, and the velocity of the 5-kg object is unkown)
After the impact, the total momentum is
Since the momentum is preserved, the initial and final momentum must be the same. Set an equation between the initial and final momentum and solve it for 
, and you'll have the final velocity of the 5-kg object.
Answer:
Explanation:
Mercury moves the fastest.
The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.
weight of man = 75kg
speed of elevator, a = 1.5 
So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.
Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction. Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.
