PhysicsSystems of Particles and Rotational MotionMHT CET 2026

A mass M moving with velocity V along X-axis collides and sticks to another mass 2M which is moving along Y-axis with velocity 3V. The velocity of the combination, after the collision is

Answer: (B)

Solution

The collision is perfectly inelastic and there is no external force, so the linear momentum vector is conserved. Initial momentum: . After sticking the combined mass is with velocity :
