A particle of mass m moving with velocity v collides with another particle of mass 2m at rest. if both particles combined together on collision find the velocity of the combination

initial momentum = final momentum

m×v + 2m×0 = (m+2m) × v'

mv = 3mv'

v' = mv/3m = v/3

Final velocity of combination is v/3

TPS: are you in 9th class?
TPS: if yes, go and study this topic for a week, do the exercises and then come back so that you can see for yourself
Simar111: because it's answer is written in my book and that is -2mv
uttu5: you re in which class
Simar111: 9th
TPS: Simar, look, the answer can never be -2mv. Velocity can never be (mass×velocity). it will never be -2mv
TPS: And if it is really given in your book that the answer to this question is -2mv, then i sincerely request you to read a different book.
Simar111: ok thanks
uttu5: welcome
uttu5: I am in 10

their velocity and momentum conserved conservation of momentum
