Three masses are moving along the x-axis. Their masses and velocities are m1 = m with v1 = v, m2 = 2m with v2 = 2v, and m3 = 3m with v3 = 3v (the minus sign indicating this velocity is in the negative x-direction). The three masses collide and stick together in a completely inelastic collision. What is the resultant velocity of the combined mass?
 a. 0, since their combined momentum is zero.
  b. 2v/3
  c. 14v/3
  d. v

 a. 6.4 m/s
  b. 33 m/s
  c. 29 m/s
  d. 0.62 m/s

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
