Questions  

A particle of mass m1  moving with velocity v collides with a mass m2  at rest, then they get embedded. Just after collision, velocity of the system

a
Increases
b
Decreases
c
Remains constant
d
Becomes zero

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Applying conservation of momentumm1v+m2(0)=(m1+m2)v1⇒v1=m1(m1+m2)vAs m1<(m1+m2)  so velocity decreases.
