Three masses are moving along the x-axis. Their masses and velocities are m1 = m with v1 = v, m2 = 2m with v2 = 2v, and m3 = 3m with v3 = –3v (the minus sign indicating this velocity is in the negative x-direction). The three masses collide and stick together in a completely inelastic collision. What is the resultant velocity of the combined mass?

a. 0, since their combined momentum is zero. b. –2v/3 c. 14v/3 d. –v
