Answer:
A mass m moves with a velocity v and collides inelastically with another identical mass. After collision the 1st mass moves with velocity 3 v in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction of motion
Explanation:- In x - direction [Before collision]
Apply conservation of momentum , we get
After collision, in y direction , apply conservation of momentum we get
Velocity of second mass after collision
