    A 10 kg ball moving with velocity 2 m/s collides with a 20 kg mass initially at rest. If both of them coalesce, the final velocity of combined mass is

    A)  \[\frac{3}{4}m/s\]                          

    B)  \[\frac{1}{3}m/s\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{2}m/s\]                          

    D)  \[\frac{2}{3}m/s\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     From law of conservation of momentum Momentum before collision                                 = momentum after collision \[\therefore \]  \[{{M}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}+{{M}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}=({{M}_{1}}+{{M}_{2}})v\] Given,   \[{{M}_{1}}=10\,kg\],     \[{{u}_{1}}=2\,m/s\],                 \[{{M}_{2}}=20\,kg,\,{{u}_{2}}=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[10\times 2=(10+20)v\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[v=\frac{20}{30}=\frac{2}{3}m/s\]
