  1. A body of mass m moving with velocity 3 km/h collides with a body of mass 2 m at rest. Now the coalesced mass starts to move with a velocity​​​

    1. 1 km/h ​
    2. ​2 km/h
    3. 3 km/h
    4. 4 km/h
Correct Option: A

Applying law of conservation of momentum, ​
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v ​
or, m1u1 = (m1 + m2)v ​  (∵ u2 = 0)

⇒ m
(3 × 1000)
= 3m(v)
3600

⇒ v =
1000
m/s = 1 km / hr
3600
