Two objects are on a collision course. Object #1 has a mass of 10.0 kg and an initial velocity of 22.6 m/s i. Object #2 has a mass of 4.37 kg and an initial velocity of --3.87 m/s i. If the system is isolated and the objects stick together upon colliding, what is the final velocity of the masses? Let positive answers be (+i) and negative answers be (-i) regarding directions.
