$A$ bag of mass $M$ is suspended by a long string. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ hits the bag and gets embedded in it. For the (bag + bullet) system:

  • A
    The momentum is $\frac{mvM}{M + m}$.
  • B
    The kinetic energy is $\frac{mv^2}{2}$.
  • C
    The momentum is $\frac{mv(M + m)}{M}$.
  • D
    The kinetic energy is $\frac{m^2v^2}{2(M + m)}$.
