Momentum — practice question

An object P with mass $80\,\text{g}$ collides with a second object Q of mass $40\,\text{g}$. Following the collision, P and Q join together and move off as one. Prior to the collision, P has speed $6.0\,\text{m s}^{-1}$ and Q is stationary. What is the speed of P and Q after the collision?

  • A$2.0\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • B$3.0\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • C$4.0\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • D$6.0\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
