A body of mass m1 moving with velocity u, collides with another body of mass m2 at rest. If they stick together after collision, find the common velocity with which they move 

A body of mass m1 moving with velocity u, collides with another body of mass m2 at rest. If they stick together after collision, find the common velocity with which they move 

Initial momentum = m1u + m2 x 0 = m1u

Final total momentum = (m1 + m2)v

By conservation of linear momentum

m1u = (m1 + m2)v
