By law of conservation of momentum,

Total initial momentum of system = Total final momentum of system.

0 = m1v1 + m2v2
0 = 3*v1 + 6*v2

Since KE of 3kg = 216
=) 1/2 * 3*v1^2 = 216
=) v1^2 = 144
=) v1= 12ms-1.

Hence 0 = 3*12 + 6*v2
-36 = 6v2
=) - 6m/s = v2.

Velocity of 6 kg is in opposite direction of 3kg.

Hence velocity of 6kg mass will be 6m/s.

Hope it's helpful to u.

From law of conservation of momentum,

> m1v1 = m2v2

> 3×v1 = 6×v2

> v1 = 2v2 .....(1)

ATQ , 1/2×3×v1² = 216

v1² = 216×2/3=144

Therefore, v1 = 12

From Eq. (1),

v2= v1/2 = 6

Answer is 6m/s
