$A$ body of mass $2\, kg$ moving with a velocity of $3\, m/s$ collides head-on with a body of mass $1\, kg$ moving in the opposite direction with a velocity of $4\, m/s$. After the collision,the two bodies stick together and move with a common velocity. The common velocity in $m/s$ is equal to:

  • A
    $1/4$
  • B
    $1/3$
  • C
    $2/3$
  • D
    $3/4$

Two identical balls are suspended side by side by two long strings. One ball is pulled aside so that its center of gravity rises by a vertical distance $h$. It is then released and undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with the other ball. What is the vertical distance to which the center of gravity of the combined system rises?
