1.15m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
m1=0.025 kg
m2= 2.35kg
u1= 217 m/s
v1= 109 m/s
u2= 0
v2=???
Applying the law of conservation of linear momentum
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
substitute
0.025*217+2.35*0= 0.025*109+2.35*v2
5.425= 2.725+ 2.35v2
5.425-2.725=2.35v2
2.7=2.35v2
divide both sides by 2.35
v2= 2.7/2.35
v2=1.15 m/s
Hence the speed of the watermelon will be 1.15m/s
