A body of mass 10kg moving with a velocity of 5\(ms^{-1}\) collides with another body of mass 15kg moving in the same direction as the first with a velocity of 2\(ms^{-1}\). After collision, the two bodies move together with a common velocity v\(ms^{-1}\).
A. 3.2 B. 5.3 C. 7.0 D. 8.0
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Momentum of bodies with common velocity = \(m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v\)
