Help me with physics homework?

a 5 kg fish swimming at a speed of 1 m/s swallows an absent-minded 1 kg fish swimming toward it at 4 m/s. The speed of the larger fish after lunch is _____ m/s. a. 1/6 b. 1/2 c. 2/3 d. 3/2
Question asked by: bones1037

5kg travelling at 1m/s and the other is travelling 4m/s and weights 1kg.

Therefore this slows down the larger of the two fish proportionally. You need to use basics physics knowledge to answer the question. It will be beneficial for you to learn the right method so you can apply it in future rather than be told the answer!
