$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the particle starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. The final velocity of the wedge $v_2$ is

  • A
    $\frac{mv_0}{M}$
  • B
    $\frac{mv_0}{M+m}$
  • C
    $v_0$
  • D
    insufficient data
