    When two bodies of masses\[{{m}_{1}}\]and\[{{m}_{2}}\]moving with velocities\[{{u}_{1}}\]and\[{{u}_{2}}\]in the opposite direction collide with each other and move together after collision in the same direction with a common velocity v, then

    A)  \[{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}={{m}_{1}}v+{{m}_{2}}v\]

    B)  \[{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{1}}-{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{2}}=({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})v\]

    C)  \[{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}=({{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}})v\]

    D)  \[v=\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Since initially, the two bodies are moving in opposite direction, if velocity of one body is \[{{u}_{1}}\] then velocity of the other body is \[-{{u}_{2}}.\] Negative sign indicates that it is moving in opposite direction. so, \[{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}={{m}_{1}}v+{{m}_{2}}v=({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})v\] \[\Rightarrow V=\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}\]
