URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!

A certain planet is impacted by a large asteroid, which sends molten rock flying into space. Two spheres of the molten rock are moving in the same direction. One sphere has a mass of 135 kg and a velocity of 95.0 m/s in the positive y-direction. The other sphere has a mass of 290 kg, and a velocity of 24.0 m/s in the positive y-direction. If the two spheres collide, and fuse together, what would be the velocity of the combined sphere?
