Two bodies A and B of same mass undergo completely inelastic one dimensional collision. The body A moves with velocity $v_1$ while body B is at rest before collision. The velocity of the system after collision is $v_2$. The ratio $v_1 : v_2$ is;Applying conservation of momentum: $mv_1 + 0 = 2mv_2$ $\Rightarrow v_2 = \frac{v_1}{2}$ $\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{v_1}{v_1/2} = 2$ $v_1 : v_2 = 2 : 1$
