A body of mass `m_(1)` is moving with a velocity V. it collides with another stationary body of mass `m_(2)`. They get embedded. At the point of collision, the velocity of the system.

A

Increases

B

Decreases but does not become zero

C

Remains same

D

Become zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`m_1 V = (m_1 +m_2) v. implies v. = ((m_1)/(m_1+m_2))V`
i.e. velocity of system is less than V.
