36. As shown in the top view, a disc of mass mm is moving horizontally to the right with speed vv on a table with negligible friction when it collides with a second disc of mass 2m2 m. The second disc is moving horizontally to the right with speed v/2v / 2 at the moment before impact. The two discs stick together upon impact. The kinetic energy of the composite body immediately after the collision is (A) (1/6)mv2(1 / 6) m v^{2} (B) (1/2)mv2(1 / 2) m v^{2} (C) 2/3mv22 / 3 m v^{2} (D) (9/8)mv2(9 / 8) m v^{2} ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/question-bank/question-images/d93706c3cc60/2025_11_20_dc5dcf85afe139c325e0g-06.jpg) Top View
