- Homework Statement
- It's given through a passage that a leukocyte has a mass of 8x10^-10 and platelet has a mass of 1x10^-11 indicating that they DO have very different masses. But am i wrong by saying that they have a common final momentum since they stick together after colliding? Wouldn't they have both a common final velocity AND a common final momentum since they would have a combined mass of 8.1×10−10. I've missed a few problems like this and I don't get whether I am misunderstanding something or they have them incorrect.
