A 4 kg mass moving with a velocity of 20 m/s collides with another 5 kg mass moving in opposite direction with a velocity of 40 ms1. During the collision, they stick together.  Find their common velocity and the momentum.

a
−13.3 m/s,  120 kgms–1
b
12.5 m/s,  50  kgms–1
c
7.5 m/s,  100  kgms–1
d
7.5 m/s,  50 kgms–1

detailed solution

Correct option is A

v=m1u1−m2u2M1+M2 v=4×20−5×409 =80−2009=−1209 = −13.3 m/s Momentum =(M1+M2)v =(4+5)13.3=120kgms−1
