Two objects, each of mass \(1.5\ kg\), are moving in the same straight line but in opposite directions. The velocity of each object is \(2.5\ m\ s^{-1}\) before the collision during which they stick together. What will be the velocity of the combined object after collision?
Let us consider,
\(m_1\) be the mass of first object
\(m_2\) be the mass of second object
\(v_1\) be the velocity of first object before collision
\(v_2\) be the velocity of the second object before collision
\(v\) be the Velocity of the combined object after the collision
From the law of conservation of momentum, We know that,
Velocity of the combined object after the collision \(=\) \(m\ s^{-1}\)
