Momentum Conservation in an Inelastic Collision
Two particles of mass m₁ = 2.0 kg and m₂ = 3.0 kg have initial velocities of v₁ = 4.0î m/s and v₂ = -2.0î + 3.0ĵ m/s, respectively. The particles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision. What is the speed of the combined mass immediately after the collision?
A
√5 m/s
B
0.8 m/s
C
1.0 m/s
D
1.84 m/s
