Answer:

option B.

Explanation:

given,

Mass of the blocks 1 = M

Mass of the blocks 1 = 2 M.

initial speed of the block 1= v

initial speed of the block 2 = - v

where V is the final speed of the blocks after collision

using conservation of momentum

M v + 2 M (-v) =  (M + 2 M) V

3 M V = - M v    

V = -\dfrac{v}{3}      

velocity of the blocks after collision is equal to -v/3 m/s

hence, the correct answer is option B.

Solar system help please!
Kobotan [32]
When one body(sun) exerts a force on a second body(planet), the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the first body. Which makes the planet orbit in path C.

Hope this helps!!

two masses are separated by 1 m. suppose the masses are moved so they are 2 m apart how will the gravitational force change
Verdich [7]
The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together
