Answer:


2√(6)
(mi)/(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there is no waste of energy:


K_(1) = K_(2)\\(1)/(2)m_(1)v_{1_(1)}^(2) + (1)/(2)m_(2)v_{2_(1)}^2 = (1)/(2)m_(1)v_{1_(2)}^(2) + (1)/(2)m_(2)v_{2_(2)}^2\\\\=> m_(1)v_{1_(1)}^(2) + m_(2)v_{2_(1)}^2 = m_(1)v_{1_(2)}^(2) + m_(2)v_{2_(2)}^2\\\\m_(1) = 2 kg, m_(2) = 1 kg, v_{1_(1)} = 4 (mi)/(s) , v_{2_(1)} = 0\\=> 32 = 8 + v_{2_(2)}^(2) => v_{2_(2)} = 2√(6) (mi)/(s)
