Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Conservation of momentum

In the x direction

2(15) + 2(-10) = 2(-5) + 2(vBfx)

vBfx = 10 m/s

In the y direction

2(30) + 2(5) = 2(20) + 2(vBfy)

vBfy = 15 m/s

vBf = 10i + 15j

KEi = ½(2)(15² + 30²) + ½(2)(-10² + 5²) = 1250 J

KEf = ½(2)(-5² + 20²) + ½(2)(10² + 15²) = 750 J

KEf - KEi = 750 - 1250 = -500 J
