Two putty balls of equal mass moving with equal velocity in mutually perpendicular directions, stick together after collision. If the balls were initially moving with a velocity of 45√2 ms−1 each, the velocity of their combined mass after collision is
The correct option is
B
Initial momentum
∣∣→P∣∣=m45√2^i+m45√2^j⇒→P=m×90
Final momentum 2m×V
By conservation of momentum 2m×V=m×90
∴V=45 m/s
