Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{v}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Applying conservation of linear momentum

\(\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{ P }_{ i }=\overrightarrow{ P }_{ f }\)

\(mv +2 m \times 0=(3 m ) v ^{\prime}\)

\(\therefore mv =3\,mv\)

\(v ^{\prime}=\frac{ v }{3}\)
