A particle of mass $m$ moving along the $x$ -axis with a velocity component $+u$ collides head-on and sticks to a particle of mass $m / 3$ moving along the $x$ axis with the velocity component $-u .$ What is the mass $M$ of the resulting particle?

A particle of rest mass m moving along the x-axis with velocity V collides with a particle of rest mass m/2 moving along the x-axis with velocity –V. If the two particles coalesce, find the rest mass of the resulting particle.
