Ans.
A particle of mass m collides head-on with another particle of mass 2m .
The velocity of the particle of mass m is V ,
and the velocity of the particle of mass 2m is zero.
The collision is perfectly inelastic. after collision the two bodies together behave like one body, so the velocity after collision of the two bodies will be same. Let V_1 be the velocity of the composite particle after collision.
According to the conservation of linear momentum,
mV+2m\cdot{0}=(m+2m)V_1
or, mV=3mV_1
or, V_1=\frac{1}{3}V
So the velocity of the composite particle is \frac{V}{3} .
