A 6kg mass at 4m/s collides inelastically with a stationary 2kg mass. What is the final speed?
Momentum conservation: 6×4=(6+2)vf⇒24=8vf⇒vf=3m/s. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 3 m/s as the result, so option A is correct.
