$A$ uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ particle of mass $m$ strikes the rod at one end with a velocity $v$ perpendicular to the rod. If the particle comes to rest after the collision,the velocity of the center of mass of the rod after the collision is:

  • A
    $v/2$
  • B
    $mv/M$
  • C
    $mv/(M+m)$
  • D
    $v$

$A$ mass $m$ moves with a velocity $v$ and collides inelastically with another identical mass at rest. After the collision,the $1^{st}$ mass moves with velocity $\frac{v}{\sqrt{3}}$ in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. Find the speed of the $2^{nd}$ mass after the collision.
