Two wooden blocks of mass $M_1$ and $M_2$ rest on a frictionless table. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ is fired at $M_1$ with speed $v$,which gets embedded in it,and the two together finally collide with $M_2$. Find the velocity of $M_2$ after the collision. (Assume the collision between the $(M_1+m)$ system and $M_2$ is elastic and treat the problem as one-dimensional.)

  • A
    $\frac{2 m v}{M_1+M_2+m}$
  • B
    $\frac{m v}{M_1+M_2+m}$
  • C
    $\frac{(M_1+M_2+m) v}{M_1+M_2+m}$
  • D
    $\frac{M_1+M_2}{M_1+M_2+m} v$
