Question 39

Multiple Choice

Three masses are moving along the x-axis.Their masses and velocities are ​m​1 = ​m​ with ​v​1 = ​v​,​m​2 = 2​m with v2 = 2v,and m3 = 3m with v3 = -3v ​(the minus sign indicating this velocity is in the negative x-direction) .The three masses collide and stick together in a completely inelastic collision.What is the resultant velocity of the combined mass?


A) 0,since their combined momentum is zero.
B) -2v/3
C) 14v/3
D) -v
