    A moving body of mass m and velocity 3 km/hr. Collides with a body at rest and of mass 2m and then sticks to it. Now the combined mass starts to move, then the combined velocity will be:

    A)  4 km/hr       

    B)  3 km/hr

    C)  2 km/hr       

    D)  1 km/hr

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Here : Mass of the body\[{{m}_{1}}=m\] Velocity of the first body \[{{u}_{1}}=312\text{ }m/sec\] Mass of second body at rest\[{{m}_{2}}=2m\] Velocity of second body \[{{u}_{2}}=0\] After combination total mass of the body \[M=m+2m=3m\] Now from the law of conservations of momentum \[M\upsilon ={{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}\] (where\[M=m+2m=3m\]) \[3m\upsilon =m\times 3+2m\times 0\] \[\upsilon =1km/hr\]
