Question

A body of a mass 2 kg moving with a velocity (^i+2^j3^k) m/s collides with another body of mass 3 kg moving with a velocity (2^i+^j+^k) m/s. If they stick together, the velocity in m/s of the composite body is

Solution

The correct option is A 15(8i+7j3k)
We know that p=mv

So, p1=2(^i+2^j3^k)kgm/s

=(2^i+4^j6^k)kgm/s

and p2=3(2^i+^j+^k)kgm/s

=(6^i+3^j+3^k)kgm/s

Resultant momentum is
p=p1+p2

=(2^i+4^j6^k)+(6^i+3^j+3^k)

=(8^i+7^j3^k)kgm/s

Total mass(m) =2+3=5kg

Therefore, the velocity of body is
v=pm=15(8^i+7^j3^k)m/s

=15(8^i+7^j3^k)m/s
