1 Two particles, \(A\) and \(B\), are moving on a smooth horizontal surface when they collide. During the collision, the two particles coalesce to form a single combined particle. Particle \(A\) has mass 3 kg and particle \(B\) has mass 7 kg .
Before the collision, the velocity of \(A\) is \(\left[ \begin{array} { r } 6
- 2 \end{array} \right] \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) and the velocity of \(B\) is \(\left[ \begin{array} { r } - 1
4 \end{array} \right] \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\).
- Find the velocity of the combined particle after the collision.
- Find the speed of the combined particle after the collision.
