Law of inertia states that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless it is acted upon by an external force.

The gravitational force keeps the planets revolving round the sun in a uniform motion, this will continue till infinity unless equal and opposite force acts on our planets.

Therefore, the law of inertia relates to revolution of planets round the sun due to constant motion of the planets round the sun.

A 2kg blob of putty moving at 4 m/s slams into a 6kg blob of putty at rest what is the speed of the to stick together blobs imme

andrew11 [14]

<h2>Answer</h2>

1m/s

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given that:

<em>Mass of first blob = 2kg = m1</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 4m/s = v1</em>

<em>Mass of second blob = 6kg = m2</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 0m/s = v2</em>

<em />

To find:

<em>Final velocity = Vf</em>

<em />

<em>This question is of inelastic collision which is any collision between objects in which some energy is lost.</em>

<em />

<h3>Formula to be use:</h3><h2>(m1*v1) + (m2*V2) = Vf(m1 + m2)</h2>

(2*4) + (6*0) = Vf(2+6)

8 + 0 = Vf(8)

8 = Vf(8)

Vf = 1 m/s

So the speed of two blobs immediately after colliding = 1 m/s
