Two bodies of the same mass are moving with the same speed, but in different directions in a plane. They have a completely inelastic collision and move together thereafter with a final speed which is half of their initial velocities of the two bodies (in degree) is

Momentum conservation along x direction

2mv cosθ = (2m) v/2

cosθ = 1/2

cosθ = 60°

then angle between their initial velocities = 120°
