question is on the description

Question

A less-massive object is moving in the same direction as a more-massive object, but with a higher speed. They experience an inelastic collision. Describe the speed of the more-massive object after the collision.

Answer 1

This is conservation of momentum.  Velocity is the influencing factor in momentum.  Also, inelastic collision means that the objects will not bounce off after collision.  Therefore, the speed of the more massive object will be the same as the speed of the less-massive object because of transfer of kinetic energy.
