A body of mass M1 moving with a velocity U collides with a stationary body of mass M2 and both move with a common velocity V lf linear momentum is conserved, which of the following expressions correctly represents V?
M1 UM1 + M2
M2 UM1 + M2
M1 + M2M1 U
M1 - M2M1 U
M1 UM1 - M2
Explanation
M1U + M2 x 0 = (M1 + M2)v
V =
M1 UM1 + M2
