Question
A body of mass 'm' moving with a constant velocity 'v' hits another body of the same mass moving with the same velocity 'v' but in the opposite direction and sticks to it. The velocity of the compound body after collision is
 
Options:
A .  v
B .  2v
C .  Zero
D .  v2
Answer: Option C
:
C
Initial momentum of the system = mv - mv = 0
As body sticks together ;final momentum = 2mV
By conservation of momentum 2mV = 0.
V = 0
