Conservation of MomentumMediumQuestion 5419
Question
A 3 kg ball moving at 4 m/s collides with a stationary 1 kg ball and they stick together. Their combined velocity is:
- A3 m/sCorrect
- B4 m/s
- C1 m/s
- D12 m/s
Correct answer
3 m/s
Explanation
Conservation of momentum: 3×4 = (3+1)v → v = 12/4 = 3 m/s.
