You need the assumption that the expressions under the square root are positive. So:

Assuming[g^2 + gp^2 >= 0 && v1^2 + v2^2 > 0,
   Simplify[Sqrt[(g^2 + gp^2)*(v1^2 + v2^2)]/Sqrt[v1^2 + v2^2]]]

Sqrt[g^2 + gp^2]

In particular, this will be true if everything in your expression is real:

Assuming[Element[_, Reals],
   Simplify[Sqrt[(g^2 + gp^2)*(v1^2 + v2^2)]/
       Sqrt[v1^2 + v2^2]]]

Sqrt[g^2 + gp^2]
