Question 4

A particle of mass $$m$$ moving with velocity $$v$$ collides with a stationary particle of mass $$2m$$. After collision, they stick together and continue to move together with velocity

Using conservation of momentum for a perfectly inelastic collision:

$$mv + 2m(0) = (m + 2m)v'$$

$$mv = 3mv'$$

$$v' = \frac{v}{3}$$

The combined mass moves with velocity $$\frac{v}{3}$$.

The correct answer is Option 1.
