Homework Statement
A sled of mass m1=6 kg is moving at a speed v1=9 m/s.
A package of mass m2=12 kg is dropped from above. What will be the sled's new velocity?
Note that this is a completely inelastic collision.
Relevant Equations
K=1/2 m v^2
I have tried various ways but I can't get a correct result
