An Inelastic collision conservers Momentum But Not energy

Consider a collision between two bodies of mass [math]m_1[/math] and [math]m_2[/math] initially moving at speeds [math]v_1[/math] and [math]v_2[/math] respectively. They stick together after they collide so that each is moving at the same velocity [math]v[/math] after the collision.
