Two cars of equal mass $m$ moving with the same speed $v$ undergo a perfectly inelastic collision. What is the velocity of the combined mass after the collision?

  • A
    $v \cos \frac{\theta}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{v}{2} \cos \theta$
  • C
    $\frac{v}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2}$
  • D
    $2v \cos \theta$
