Question

A body of mass 2 kg moving with a velocity (^i+2^j3^k) ms1 collides with another body of mass 3 kg moving with a velocity (2^i+^j+^k) in ms1. If they stick together, the velocity in ms1 of the composite body is

Solution

The correct option is A
p1=2kg(^i+2^j3^k) ms1=(2^i+4^j6^k) kg ms1p2=3kg(2^i+^j+^k) ms1=(6^i+3^j+3^k) kg ms1
Resultant momentum is
p=p1+p2
=(2^i+4^j6^k)+(6^i+3^j+3^k)
=(8^i+7^j3^k)kg ms1
Total mass (m) = 2 + 3 = 5 kg. Therefore, the velocity of composite body is
v=pm=15(8^i+7^j3^k)ms1
Hence the correct choice is (a).
