A 16-gram mass is moving to the right at 3 x 10^-1 m/s while a 4.0 x 10-3-kilogram mass is moving to the left at 50-centimeters/second. They collide head on and stick together. Find their velocity and direction after the collision. A 16-gram mass is moving to the right at 3 x 10^-1 m/s while a 4.0 x 10-3-kilogram mass is moving to the left at 50-centimeters/second.
