Solution

The correct option is C

5 v m/s


Initial velocity of m1 = v ms

Initial velocity of m2 = 2v ms

mass of m1 = m kg

mass of m2 = 2m Kg

Initial momentum of the system = mv + 4mv = 5 mv

Final velocity of m1 = u ms (Yet to be found)

Final velocity of m2 = 0 ms

Final momentum = (2m × 0) + (m × u)

So according to conservation of momentum, mu = 5 mv

u = 5v ms
