A particle of mass m moving with velocity v strikes a particle of mass

1.	A particle of mass m moving with velocity v strikes a particle of mass 2m at rest and sticks to it. The speed of the combined mass is
Answer» `v/2` 2V `v/3` `v/4` Solution :ACCORDING to conservation of LINEAR momentum `MV=(m+2m)v^(1)` `v_(1)(mv)/(3m)=v/3`
