A robotic rover of mass 12 kg travelling at 3.5 m/s to the east on a flat Martian surface collides head-on with a stationary science package of mass 15 kg. Immediately after the collision, the rover rebounds to the west at 0.5 m/s.

What is the velocity of the science package immediately after the collision?
