This is because Newton refined Galileo's idea of inertia and created it as his first law of motion. Galileo stated that it was the propensity of things to resist changes in motion. Newton refined it by including: "Every thing continues in a condition of rest or uniform speed in a straight line except acted on by a nonzero net power".
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum. Mathematically this can be expressed as

Where,
= Mass of each object
= Initial velocity of each object
= Final Velocity
Since the receiver's body is static for the initial velocity we have that the equation would become



Therefore the velocity right after catching the ball is 0.0975m/s
Mechanical and electrical
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass = 0.254 kg
Spring constant [tex[\omega_{0}= 10.0\ N/m[/tex]
Force = 0.5 N
y = 0.628
We need to calculate the A and d
Using formula of A and d
.....(I)
....(II)
Put the value of
in equation (I) and (II)


From equation (II)


Put the value of
in equation (I) and (II)


From equation (II)


Put the value of
in equation (I) and (II)


From equation (II)


Put the value of
in equation (I) and (II)


From equation (II)


Hence, This is the required solution.
