A body of mass 3 kg moving with a velocity of 4 m/s towards left collides head on with a body of mass 4 kg moving in opposite direction with a velocity of 3 m/s. After the collision the two bodies stick together and move with a common velocity which is : |
zero 12 m/s towards left 12 m/s towards right 12/7 m/s towards left |
zero |
Initial momentum : 3 x 4 + 4 (-3) = 0 Final momentum will also be zero. But both stick together, hence both come to rest. |
