$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving eastward with a speed $v$ collides with another particle of the same mass moving northwards with the same speed $v$. The two particles coalesce on collision. The new particle of mass $2m$ will move with velocity:

  • A
    $\frac{v}{2}$ North-East
  • B
    $\frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}$ South-West
  • C
    $\frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}$ North-East
  • D
    $\frac{v}{2}$ North-West
