Calculate common final velocity when two bodies stick together. The page evaluates the displayed equation from your supplied values and presents both symbolic and substituted KaTeX working so the arithmetic can be checked.
v_f=(m1u1+m2u2)/(m1+m2)

External impulse is negligible during a one-dimensional perfectly inelastic collision.
Use internally consistent units and retain extra precision when carrying the result into another calculation.
