Two particles $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $M$ are moving with the same speed $v$ as shown in the figure. They collide completely inelastically and move as a single particle $C$. The angle $\theta$ that the path of $C$ makes with the $X$-axis is given by

  • A
    $\tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}{1 - \sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}{1 - \sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\tan \theta = \frac{1 - \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}(1 + \sqrt{3})}$
  • D
    $\tan \theta = \frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{1 + \sqrt{2}}$

Two bodies of the same mass $m$ are moving with the same speed $v_0$,but in different directions in a plane. They undergo a completely inelastic collision and move together thereafter with a final speed which is half of their initial speed. The angle between the initial velocities of the two bodies (in degrees) is:

$A$ body of mass $1 \ g$ moving with a velocity of $3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} \ m/s$ collides with a body of mass $2 \ g$ moving with a velocity of $4\hat{j} - 6\hat{k} \ m/s$. If the two bodies stick together after the collision,what is the magnitude of their combined velocity in $m/s$?
