Given,

Mass of basketball is 2 kg.

Mass of kickball is 1.32 kg

The initial velocity of the basket ball is 2.37m/s.

The final velocity of the kickball is 1.5 m/s

By conservation of momentum,


\begin{gathered} 2*2.37=1.32*1.5+2v \\ \Rightarrow v=(1.38m)/(s) \end{gathered}

The velocity of the basketball is 1.38 m/s
