A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/13/O/N/20

Explanation
Conservation of Momentum in Inelastic Collision Steps:
- Identify the collision as perfectly inelastic since objects stick together.
- Apply conservation of momentum: total initial momentum equals total final momentum.
- Initial momentum: .
- Final momentum: , where is the common speed.
- Solve for : .
Not enough information: The expression depends on both and , but no relation between them is given, so none of the options can be selected definitively.
Final answer: Not enough information.
Topic: Linear momentum and its conservation
